The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is nearing completion, with heavy machinery working to create the landscape needed to accommodate the animals. The National Park Service says they have already documented the first animal using the crossing on October 28, 2026. A coyote was seen on one of the fixed remote wildlife cameras. The massive crossing will reconnect wildlife habitats in the Santa Monica Mountains with the Simi Hills to the north, providing animals a route across a freeway that carries more than 300,000 vehicles a day.
