Property owned by the California Department of Transportation and other agencies in Dennery Canyon is protected from development as part of the San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Plan. The canyon is large enough to provide a core wildlife area and also serves as a regional wildlife corridor under the MSCP. Surrounding development causes some harmful edge effects but also protects the canyon from unnaturally frequent wildfire.
