HikeSantaClarita.com has also recently updated its “Critter Cam” page. Some of the animals caught on camera include mountain lions, deer, coyotes, foxes and even a black bear, all of which live in and around local opens spaces.

“The City purchases open space and we oftentimes will build trails,” said City Communications Manager Gail Ortiz. “It’s land that is held in perpetuity, which means that it will never be built on. It’s preserved forever for use by our residents and visitors. The idea is that we want to get people out using the open space.”
