THE CHANEY TRAIL CORRIDOR PROJECT
SCIENCE FOR CONSERVATION
Chaney Trail is a wildlife corridor and unique locus of biodiversity.
The Chaney Trail Corridor Project is a professional biological and community science, founded in response to the potential sale of the 78 acre Nuccio's property, surrounded by the wildland of the Angeles National Forest, the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and the Los Angeles County Significant Ecological Area. We seek to protect and conserve the land and natural resources, and provide support for wildlife and the community as we regenerate after the Eaton Fire.
![Illegal hunters yesterday in the Chaney Trail Corridor. We are sharing this for your awareness, please be cautious and on the lookout. We called the Sheriff and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. When the Sheriff arrived the hunters were gone, but we provided their car license plate to CALTIP where you can report illegal hunters and poachers. The Altadena Sheriff initially told us there was nothing they could do and this was not their jurisdiction, but that is not correct. This is Altadena, on an LA County road. The Sheriff did ultimately respond and we are grateful.
This time of year is popular for hunters; we have seen them on the trail cams in the Chaney Trail Corridor before the Eaton Fire and over the holidays. We will continue to be on the lookout. There is no place in the Chaney Trail Corridor where hunting is presently legal. The forest is closed (and recovering from fire) and the rest of the Corridor is private property. Trail easements are also closed due to fire.
Please join us in reporting illegal hunters if you see them. The Altadena Sheriff ph# is 626-798-1131 and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife CALTIP Line is 1-888-334-2258.
