Wildlife such as deer, turkey & hawks frequent the area regularly. Take a tour at the Cuyamaca State Park Interpretive Center & learn a little more about the region’s rich history & heritage.

HIDDEN SAN DIEGO

The Santa Ysabel Preserve is a combined 4,600 acre sanctuary which is presently divided into two preserves: East and West. There are many trails you can take on the Santa Ysabel East Preserve making this a place you can return to time and time again and continue having new adventures!

There are multiple trailheads you can take to enter the preserve but we entered from the Santa Ysabel Nature Center. Be mindful that this parking lot has a gate with varying hours so do your homework ahead of time so you don’t get locked in!

We did this hike in December so the weather was mild and greenery was beginning to sprout up. You will be sharing the trail with cows. Please admire them from a distance, never try to spook them, and let them be in peace.

We Need Your Help to Save Jacumba

Our neighbors in Jacumba need our help. They are fighting a devastating and ill-planned development project that will have dire consequences for the future of this small rural town. JVR Energy Park is a 90 MegaWatt 623-acre MEGA solar project that has been rushed through the Major Use Permit process. The developer, a multi-billion dollar German conglomerate BayWa r.e. has targeted the only open space area right next to a small, rural, and at-risk community for the largest project ever proposed in San Diego County. They are hiding behind the much needed push for sustainable energy production, and using that to cloak their corporate profit first, bottomline driven plan that will devastate a historic, low-income community, and permanently damage wildlife and ecosystems in the area. There are literally thousands of Mega Watts of ethical renewable energy projects already in process to take this ones place. Not every green energy project will be developed ethically, some we need to say NO to. This project is being pushed through with practically zero community feedback or considerations. Please contact your Board of supervisors and say NO to the JVR Energy Park being proposed for Jacumba. We can win this, but we need everyone to come together and save the town of Jacumba When: Wednesday August 18, 2021 Starts at 9:00am (please arrive before 8:30am) Where: Board of Supervisors Hearing County Administration Center 1600 Pacific Coast Highway Room 310 San Diego, California 92101 (Downtown San Diego) The Community of Jacumba is organizing a bus to transport Community Members Please Contact Natalie to Sign Up: 760-216-0860 [email protected] For more info visit: https://savejacumba.org/

Visit Lions Tigers & Bears | San Diego Backcountry

Lions Tigers & Bears is one of our backcountry's most unique attractions, situated on 93 acres outside of Alpine, California, on the edge of the Cleveland National Forest. They are an animal sanctuary for rescued big cats, bears and other exotic species who have been neglected and abused in captivity across the country. Established in 2002 by Founder and Director Bobbi Brink, the ranch provides a peaceful refuge for the animals to live with dignity in a safe, nurturing environment, where they can run, play, swim and enjoy an open space. Lions Tigers & bears is home to more than 60 rescued animals and 19 species, including lions, tigers, American and Himalayan black bears, grizzly bears, bobcats, mountain lions, leopards, and many other species. Lions Tigers & Bears is a model sanctuary, offering the highest standards of care for rescued exotic animals. Their sanctuary features an administrative and volunteer office, a feed room, a barn, pasture, and a state of the art medical facility. With room to grow, they hope to provide more lifetime homes to abused and abandoned exotic animals in need of a better tomorrow.
