The Wild Heritage Wilderness Campaign has arrived
in San Diego
County! The California Desert and Mountain
Heritage Act – Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack’s 200,000 acre legislation
in Riverside
County – has been
very successful so far. Now we are ready to work for wilderness in
San Diego
County! Please
join representatives from the California Wilderness Coalition, The
Wilderness Society, California Wild Heritage Campaign, and the Sierra Club
at a gathering to organize & discuss our efforts to promote wilderness
designations in San
Diego County. This is a wonderful
opportunity to meet fellow wilderness lovers in the San Diego
County region –
and the beer garden setting can’t be
beat! We’ll be sitting on the grass and boulders in the
warm summer evening. Fun! See some
photos.
Rep. Darrell
Issa has indicated that he is likely to support wilderness in
San Diego
County. The
Congressman has seen the great work we’ve been doing in Riverside
County, and is
inspired! Congressman Issa’s
district includes the northern edge of San
Diego County, and
encompasses the southern portions of Cutca Valley (Agua Tibia) and Beauty Mountain proposed wilderness
areas. Here’s the 49th Congressional
District map (pdf).
This is very exciting news
indeed!
We will need to make sure he is thanked
appropriately and encouraged to protect our area’s last remaining wild
places.
We hope you can join us in Escondido for this
important meeting and brainstorming session – in the beer
garden!
