Kyle+Halstrum+North+Etiwanda+Preserve



To reach this serene, preservation it was fairly simple, just taking sidestreets up to Etiwanda. Also being a local to the Rancho Cucamonga community, was especially helpful due to the fact that I am very familiar with this area, hike and trail. Although it was very interesting to actually pay attention to the different species of plants and animals, it was somewhat difficult to discern plants between others because of their state approaching winter and adapting to these plumetting temperatures. The preserve is a preservation in itself. This means that it was set aside by the national forrestry service and is intentionally a set aside zone for native and invasive species(like mustard) to flourish without the devestation of the land from developing contractors.The NEP boundary, or North Etiwanda Preserve is an excellent place to enjoy our native wildlife without it being subjugated to tilled and constructed on. I was saddened to see the trail littered with trash when it is supposed to be a sanctuary for life. Everyone should keep in mind to "Pack it in, pack it out." so our preserve may actually be preserved. Overall this experience was cleansing and insightful into the environmental state of our local wildlife preserves, and the species and wonders in which it contains.
