Gopher Problems Near Rowland Heights — Puente Hills, Pathfinder Park, and Hillside Communities
Rowland Heights is an unincorporated LA County community in the eastern Puente Hills, sharing the same natural terrain character as neighboring Hacienda Heights and Diamond Bar. The Puente Hills Preserve runs directly through the community, Pathfinder Regional Park preserves significant natural terrain within walking distance of many residential neighborhoods, and the hillside lots throughout Rowland Heights create direct adjacency between residential landscaping and natural gopher terrain throughout the community.
The Main Gopher Sources in Rowland Heights
Puente Hills Preserve — the preserve's natural terrain extends through Rowland Heights just as it does through Hacienda Heights to the west and Diamond Bar to the east. The grassland, coastal sage, and oak woodland sections of the preserve sustain permanent, well-established gopher populations throughout the Puente Hills corridor. Rowland Heights residential neighborhoods adjacent to preserve terrain — particularly those on the hills' southern slopes — experience sustained year-round pressure from preserve populations that have never been managed for pest control.
Pathfinder Regional Park preserves natural open space terrain in the hills of Rowland Heights, providing an additional natural gopher habitat area within the community's residential footprint. The park's undeveloped terrain sustains populations that push into surrounding neighborhoods from an interior community source rather than just from the preserve boundaries.
Hillside residential character throughout Rowland Heights — like Hacienda Heights, many Rowland Heights properties sit on hillside lots with natural terrain on adjacent slopes. The characteristic Puente Hills topography means that natural terrain and residential landscaping are closely intermixed throughout the community rather than cleanly separated. Properties on hillside lots with native vegetation on adjacent slopes face the most direct and persistent gopher pressure.
Diamond Bar and Chino Hills border terrain — Rowland Heights' eastern border with Diamond Bar and the Chino Hills State Park system connects it to the broader natural terrain corridor of the eastern Puente Hills and Chino Hills. This continuous natural habitat zone sustains gopher populations that distribute freely across the community boundaries of the entire eastern hills area.
Rowland Unified School District campuses including Rowland High School and the district's middle and elementary campuses maintain irrigated athletic facilities throughout the community that contribute neighborhood-level gopher pressure to surrounding residential blocks.
