Provide connection between Santa Ana Mountains, Temescal Wash, and foothills north of Lake Elsinore. Conserve wetlands, including Temescal Wash. Conserve clay soils supporting many-stemmed dudleya and Munz’s onion. Conserve foraging habitat for raptors, providing a sage ecotone. Maintain core area for bobcat. Maintain core and linkage habitat for mountain lion and SKR east of I15. Maintain core and linkage habitat for Quino checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha quino). Maintain connection to mountains to provide movement opportunities for mountain quail. Conserve habitat for CAGN and other coastal sage scrub and chaparral species. Specifically within this subunit, the Alberhill Project traverses Criteria Cells 3649, 3650, 3651, 3653, 3749, 3750, and 3751 (refer to Appendix C). Goals for each criteria cell/cell group are provided in Table 3.
