I know that there is a fake wildlife preserve around there that is funded bigly and that is probably a way for monies to be syphoned off into someone's coffers.
The LA river was totally destroyed, and the flood plain mostly filled in, to create an accident waiting to happen, when big rain comes like East Coast rain, areas around the LA will flood (like a biblical kind of flood)
since wildlife refugess are so good for extortion, I am sure that something like that is also happening, The local 'enviromentalists' will have an extortion list of 'species' that they fetishize about, and will demand cuts of all dollars for construction or flood mitigation, like they tried to do on Gold Mesa where the Bundy Ranch had it's water rights stolen.
be aware of all Federal lands in that region if you want to do a thurough dig.
