Happy Valley Boulder Barrier Project

The Happy Valley Boulder Barrier Project is a state environmental initiative managed by the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy to protect the natural state of the Oswit Land Trust Happy Valley property in Riverside County, California. Located in the Indio Hills area at APN 750-130-006 and 750-130-008, the project involves the establishment of a boulder barrier spanning approximately 2,800 feet along the property perimeter to prevent unauthorized off-road vehicle access. Additionally, the project includes the installation of signage designed to communicate property rules and provide public information regarding habitat preservation efforts. The project has been granted a Class 4 categorical exemption under CEQA guidelines, as the scope is classified as a minor alteration to a private preserve that does not require ground disturbance, tree removal, or alterations to Dillon Road. While the specific contract value and period of performance are not disclosed in the available documentation, the project is overseen by the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy, with Diana Rosas serving as the primary administrative contact. The Notice of Exemption for this project was officially signed by Executive Director Cigabeth King on November 21, 2025.
