It's Official, Yorba Linda is a Bird Sanctuary!

It's official! Yorba Linda is a Bird Sanctuary!

Today was the Yorba Linda Woman's Club (YLWC) 1st city sign dedication with City Mayor Tom Lindsey and YLWC President, Marcia Willett. For you Yorbalindans, it's located at the south side of Y.L. Blvd, just east of Jefferson Ave. It is the first sign with others to come. Historically, the YLWC was instrumental in claiming YL as a bird sanctuary to help deter a large airport from being built in our Chino and YL Hills, thereby keeping our peaceful, country-like environment and wild birds galore.   —                     in Yorba Linda
