On 9/18 Point Reyes released their final plan. It is heart breaking, infuriating and anti-wildlife. They will hand 24 private, commercial dairy and livestock operations 20-year leases and allow an expansion of their operations. They will give allowance to kill the free-roaming herd of Tule elk within the park if they interrupt ranching operations (by simply eating grass....)
There is a 30-day waiting period before the final plan can be signed by Regional Director Woody Smeck and become the Record of Decision. So we have 30 days to fight as hard as we can and Save Point Reyes National Seashore.
If you are in the Bay Area, please attend a mass demonstration at Point Reyes. Sunday, 9/27 at 11am. http://bit.ly/dontshootelk
Please watch this incredibly beautiful 8-minute film capturing the beauty of Point Reyes, the elk, and what's at stake. https://restoreptreyesseashore.org/elkfilm/
