Did you know West Little Llagas Creek Trail is a locally designated Interpretive Wildlife Corridor? The trail provides a place where the community can go to view the local environment and wildlife that lives there. Over time, interpretive features such as signs and artwork depicting native wildlife will continue to be installed along the trail.
Wildlife corridors play an important role in maintaining diversity among species native to a particular area by providing a way for animal and plant populations to connect over a larger landscape. While the West Little Llagas Creek Trail corridor is fragmented by roads, the corridor still provides a form of habitat connectivity that would otherwise be impossible in a developed area.1
The West Little Llagas Creek Trail provides an opportunity for the community to enjoy the plants and animals that call Morgan Hill home.
