2. The @SCAGnews Regional Council unanimously adopted the 2024 Connect SoCal Plan. We continued to urge SCAG to adopt more robust policies and mitigation measures to further reduce impacts to habitats. @FHBP_OC led the coalition to comment and support this plan.

Laguna Greenbelt has been working tirelessly to protect the connection between the Laguna Coast and the Santa Ana Mountains for wildlife. We hope their position is listened to as the City of Irvine considers trails in the area. voiceofoc.org/2024/03/irvine…

Today the @SCAGnews Regional Council unanimously adopted the data standards and data disclaimer language for the SoCal Greenprint. This tool was a mitigation measure from the 2020 Connect SoCal Plan. @FHBP_OC is thrilled to have been a leader in the effort to ensure it launched.
