Tenaja Area Wildlife
Conservation Projects
The Tenaja area is pierced and surrounded by many important conservation
projects. The Tenaja Corridor project connecting the Santa Rosa Ecological
Reserve and the Cleveland National Forest is one of the most important habitat
conservation projects in Southern California. Many millions of dollars in
private donations and state funds have been merged to create a zone through the
Santa Ana Mountains where big cat predators can successfully survive in the
wild.

carefully share our new home with these wonderful creatures. Here are a few
resources for you to review on mountain lions:
