El Toro Wilderness

El Toro Wilderness protects 13,000 acres of rugged coastal mountains in Southern California’s Santa Ana range. This is chaparral country—steep canyons, seasonal streams, and sweeping views from the Pacific to the desert. It’s not glamorous wilderness, but it’s real: hot, scrubby, and vital habitat just miles from millions of people. El Toro proves wilderness doesn’t need to be remote to matter. Rep the wild spaces defending biodiversity in your backyard.
