After decades of legal wrangling over a 2-mile stretch of coastline near Mailbu, Trust for Public Land has worked to permanently protect 1,280 acres of sage-covered slopes along the Pacific Coast Highway. With help from generous donors, the property could soon become part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, ensuring that southern Californians have unbroken access to this breathtaking coastal habitat. |
