The Santa Clarita Valley has a unique and endangered ecology, one that we must work to protect. Our valley is home to endangered fish and birds, and some of the last remaining Valley Oak groves in Southern California. Without a watchful eye, these delicate environments could be lost forever, just as many have been in the past. This is why being knowledgeable about our surroundings is critical, and why we have compiled these guides:

• Native Plants in the Santa Clara River
• What’s a Valley Oak?
• Endangered Species in the Santa Clarita Valley
• Significant Ecological Areas in the Santa Clarita Valley
• Preserving the Santa Clara River
