DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency was
successful in receiving a $100,000 Habitat Conservation Fund Program grant
from the California Department of Parks and Recreation for the Santiago
Park Nature Reserve Wilderness Resources Connection and Protection
Education Program. The project will introduce Santa Ana youth to
wilderness resources, emphasize the important benefits those services
provide, and will educate residents on how best to visit, protect and
restore wilderness resources both locally and regionally. The program
will be conducted from the newly constructed Santiago Creek Wildlife and
Watershed Center and will include field trips and group presentations that
focus on plant and animal identification, habitat restoration techniques,
wilderness ethics, and camping and outdoor skills. The City will use in-
kind personnel costs to meet the 50 percent matching funds requirement.
