Help educate California officials on importance of protecting wildlands and rivers From the north coast’s King Range to Death Valley, from the bristlecone pine forests of the White Mountains to Sequoia and Kings Canyon, California has an amazing array of wildlands. But we are losing our remaining wild areas at a rapid rate, and new threats arise every day. Last summer, the Bush administration announced plans to drill for oil and gas in pristine roadless areas near Santa Barbara. Sierra Club and other organizations have embarked on a campaign to show our state leaders just how important saving our wild lands and free-flowing rivers is to Californians. It’s important that we let leaders such as Governor Gray Davis and Senator Dianne Feinstein know how many Californians care about saving our wild heritage. We are circulating postcards and petitions throughout the state, collecting signatures of Californians from all walks of life. Please help by signing the postcard enclosed in this issue of The Ventana. We hope to deliver tens of thousands of postcards to Senator Feinstein and Governor Davis early in 2003. If you’d like to do more, we are circulating petitions with the same message to get signatures. > Download the petition Thank you for helping to save California’s wildlands and rivers for future generations. Please send in your postcard today! For more information, contact ilysia.shattuck@sierraclub.org.
