A new piece is out in the Valley Citizen highlighting both the continued growth of our group aiming to protect Del Puerto Canyon and increasing coordination between a multiregional network of more than 60 organizations and federal agencies to conserve the Diablo Range.

The dream of an interconnected system of parks and land trusts including Del Puerto Canyon that would be roughly 5 times the size of Yosemite is audacious and would provide a boon for educational and recreational groups, as well as for local economies like the network of national parks, national forest, and BLM lands have for the Sierras. But some are also trying hard to keep that dream from happening, so we have to keep up the fight for it!

Write to state representatives asking them to pass ACR 107, authored by Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, calling for the Diablo Range to be prioritized for state conservatino efforts when it goes before the Senate in January. Ask your own representatives if they can introduce legislation to save Del Puerto Canyon and stop the tactics developers are using against backers of the pre-exisitng park plans from spreading elsewhere. Let's also keep submitting comments to and showing up at public meetings to speak out against Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir. And we're still trying to raise funds through our Go Fund Me to support the legal fight when the revised EIR is released, which could be as early as next year.

Together, we can Save Del Puerto Canyon!
