Discover Fanita Ranch Part 3

Fanita Ranch is an essential biological reservoir and serves as a strategic biological linkage to adjacent open spaces within the Multiple Species Conservation Program in San Diego County. Fanita Ranch provides habitat for 21 mammal species, 22 species of reptiles and amphibians, and twenty-nine species of butterflies (including the endangered Quino checkerspot) and over 100 bird species including the threatened California gnatcatcher and the endangered least Bell's vireo. Fanita's steep unstable slopes act as a natural urban growth boundary, scenic viewshed and a logical extension of Mission Trails Regional Park.
