Friends for a Livable Fullerton

We envision the two now-vacant city lots (formerly called Bastanchury Tree Farm) becoming a linear native plant greenbelt with specialty gardens connected by a network of trails along a restored Bastanchury Creek. This concept highlights the uniqueness of the site, is the most cost-effective, and provides a diversity of outdoor nature experiences for everyone in Fullerton.

We advocate for the enjoyment and preservation of Fullerton’s unique and special public and private trees.

Our mission is to identify  appropriate tools and strategies to provide affordable housing while preserving and protecting historic buildings, neighborhoods, and open space, from destruction and speculation.

We support Save The Hunt in their mission to keep the Hunt Branch Library in the public realm for community use, and that the historic nature of the William Pereira-designed  building is respected. Please visit www.SaveTheHunt.com

Feeling frustrated having your voice heard? We are working on better ways for the City to include public input. 

We are devastated by the destruction of the extensive and historic Valencia and avocado groves in southeast Fullerton that were home to a wide variety of wildlife, including coyotes, bees, and birds. A compromise to at least save perimeter trees, with no impact on building footprints, was scuttled. Also, the developer was allowed to use an improper baseline for air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in a missed opportunity to reduce pollution.

Fullerton's 27 miles of trails are an amazing city resource. Help us protect and improve them!  

We support the Friends of Coyote Hills in their effort to save all of the West Coyote Hills as a nature park and preserve. https://www.coyotehills.org/2019/05/20/save-west-coyote-hills-video/

We are supportive of the Korean War Memorial but are concerned that it did not undergo the required environmental study, permits, and public review.

Fullerton pedestrians deserve a safe and convenient network of sidewalks and pathways for both recreational purposes and to conduct essential daily activities. 

Safe drinking water is an essential resource.  Fullerton’s water supply is provided by 10 groundwater wells and 6 imported water connections from the Metropolitan Water District (primarily from the Colorado River and northern California’s State Water Project).
