The Los Angeles Times today covered a story of how the California Native Plant Society and related organizations have been frozen out of access to the Tejon Ranch because of opposing development as it stands on the ranch. Very interesting article and worth your time.
The bigger story is that opposition to the Tejon Ranch development plan needs to get mobilized. There are many reasons to oppose, but high fire risk is one of the most important. We can’t afford to go forward with developments that cost so much environmentally, and risk personal catastrophe the Paradise Fire. The costs to society are too high and getting higher.
More information and links at the California Native Plant Society website.
THANK YOU for your attention today. We can organize and we can defeat these developments. In the past, so many people felt it was futile to fight the big developers. So many of us now realize what can be accomplished, one postcard, one phone call, one activist at a time. If you live in Los Angeles, please call your supervisors today — the links are on the native plant society website.
