Fifty Acres of Desert to Mountain Transition Habitat Preserved Los Angeles County, CA (September, 2008) - Where the San Gabriel Mountains meet the Mojave Desert, two sites totaling nearly fifty acres were preserved this summer through the efforts of a fledgling nonprofit land trust, the Transition Habitat Conservancy (THC). Since 2006, THC's mission has been to preserve natural areas and wildlife habitat along the Mojave Desert-San Gabriel Mountain boundary for future generations to enjoy and experience.  

According to Al Morrisette, ”Transition Habitat Conservancy is a Pinon Hills-based charitable non profit organization created for the sole purpose or raising money to buy land for public open space parks beginning with our community. This public open space will help protect our native wildlife habitat and will be available to hikers, equestrians and our your students for educational purposes, field trips and general enjoyment.”
