| Description |
The Sentenac Canyon and Cienega property is an 884-acre parcel of desert and wetlands that is home to a riparian habitat and more than 55 species of birds, including at least one species on the federal endangered species list. In 1993, The Anza-Borrego Foundation and other park officials used Transportation Enhancements (TE) funding to acquire the land. |
| Goal / Mission |
The goal of the acquisition of Sentenac Canyon and Cienega was to protect the land from development and preserve its wildlife habitats. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
The acquisition of the land protects important wetland and riparian habitats close to State Route 78 and County Road S-2, and also encourages pedestrian and equestrian traffic on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
