The site is home to a WWII support bunker and California Gnatcatchers, in addition to ORA-83, the Indian artifact site.  There will be a 30-day public comment period for the proposed plan.     New Tract Map for Upper Bolsa Chica Wetlands 2007 and 2008 saw the state Coastal Commission approve the Land Use Plan for the Upper Wetlands.  This plan said that Shea Homes had to set aside more acres for conservation that originally proposed.  As a result, the developer has submitted a new tract map calling for 111 houses on 27 acres.  Before it had been 170 houses on 40 acres.  The Land Trust was instrumental in preserving more acres for conservation.  The HB City Council will be reviewing the new map in the next few months.     Make a Difference at Bolsa Chica On the first (1st) Sunday of each month and the third (3rd) Saturday of each month, the Bolsa Chica Stewards are out on the Bolsa Chica Mesa restoring native vegetation to the landscape. They plant new plants, water old plants, pull invasive weeds, and generally have a fun time doing their part to restore the Bolsa Chica ecosystem. For more information on how you can volunteer, call Kim at 714-717-6304.       Warner Footbridge Update The Warner Avenue pedestrian bridge, which Land Trust members raised $75,000 to help pay for, has run into a delay (as all projects seem to do!). The latest snag is the state's budget crisis.  However, the Department of Fish & Game still hopes to have the bridge in place by Spring or Summer 2009.
