962 ACRES IN THE BEAUTY MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS STUDY
AREA PROTECTED
Protected Land within the Beauty Mountain WSA
The Trust has protected
an additional 962-acre property on Beauty
Mountain, thanks to the generous support
of the Resources Legacy Fund Foundation. This
purchase was completed in partnership
with the California Wildlife Conservation
Commission, which acquired 3,244-acres
of adjacent non-wilderness land. This
second phase acquisition adds to the
1,360-acres of pristine Beauty Mountain
terrain already acquired in Riverside
County - and brings the total of land
preserved to 5,566. Together these
investments create a large block of
now conserved uninterrupted rich and
diverse habitat formerly in the crosshairs
of development coming down State Highway
79 from rapidly growing Temecula
