Dictionary Hill

r development, the area supports a wealth of native plants, birds, wildflowers, small animals, and hill-topping butterflies. Trails lead from the canyon to the top of the mountain where hikers are greeted by 360 degree panoramic views. Truly a special place. Dictionary Hill remains threatened today. While a long-proposed plan to build a subdivision of 211 homes atop Dictionary Hill was withdrawn four years ago, the land could be sold to another developer at any time. Once again, we would be faced with the possibility of construction covering much of the remaining ridge line, causing irreparable harm to the plants, wildlife and natural habitat of this unique place. Thankfully, the kind folks at Dictionary Hill Open Space Advocates (DHOSA), an all volunteer group formed in 2005, is is dedicated to preserving the open space and natural habitat of Dictionary Hill and Bancroft Creek Canyon. DHOSA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. To learn more about the group, please go to www.dictionaryhill.info
