In all, Coyote Hills is home to more than 130 species of plants and animals including Song Sparrows, White-tailed Kites, Common Yellowthroats, four species of swallows, White-throated Swifts and wintering raptors. 

Yet Coyote Hills is now in danger of being gobbled up by development, as Chevron’s Pacific Coast Homes plans to build 760 units plus commercial on the site. The proposed development would fragment the 510 acres and add 3 1/2 miles of urban edge effectively destroying the habitat. 

Friends of Coyote Hills is working to save this precious resource. To learn how you can support this effort, as well as the schedule for hikes and informational meetings, log on to www.coyotehills.org or call Diane Bonanno at  (714) 572-9911. 

West Coyote Hills is the last remaining viable natural area in Fullerton and surrounding communities in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Studies continue to show that open space is necessary to the economic well being of a community as well as to the health of its citizens. 

Recognizing that the need for open space in this heavily urbanized area is acute, Friends of Coyote Hills (FCH) has been working for more than two years to preserve the site as a park and reserve with access for recreation and education. FCH is a Fullerton-based, volunteer group dedicated to preserving the 510 acres of West Coyote Hills as a park and reserve for now and the future. FCH is under the umbrella organization, Friends of Harbors, Beaches and Parks which received the grant on behalf of Friends of Coyote Hills.
