The Angeles National Wildlife Refuge stretches along all the suburbs north of the city of Los Angeles, including Glendora. It was officially incorporated on July 1, 1908. Much of the preserve is covered in dense shrubbery, replaced by coniferous and oak forests as it rises above sea level. It covers about 2,700 square kilometers. The Angeles National Wildlife Refuge is home to ancient relict plants such as Douglas fir and California walnut. You can also find Yellow Pine, White Fir, Twisted Pine, and other endangered conifers on the preserve.
There are five sandbars in the Angeles National Wildlife Refuge, the most famous of which is Cucamonga Wilderness, which is about 200 square meters in size. In August 2009, there was a terrible fire that engulfed an area of 650 square kilometers. It lasted about a month, as a result charred a quarter of the plantation and suffered many animals. Currently, there are about 22 species of plants and 23 species of fauna in the Angeles National Wildlife Refuge, 16 of which are considered endangered.
