To our incredible supporters,
Thank you! Your incredible response – nearly 2,000 signatures in a matter of days – has sent a powerful message. This petition is now officially closed. We celebrate this initial accomplishment – your voices HAVE been heard!
Here’s why we’re closing the petition and what’s next: Our initial goal was to raise awareness and demonstrate community opposition to Campbell Ranch. While we are not happy with the recent 3-2 Approval, from an awareness and engagement perspective this has absolutely been Mission Accomplished! However, this fight is far from over. Read on to understand how you can best continue to help us in this effort.
With the planning and zoning commission having voted for approval, we must transition to a unified, strategic legal battle. Continued public engagement is vital, but a focused, legally-driven approach - led by experienced advocates - is essential for success in the upcoming appeal process. That’s why we are officially joining forces with EMPAC to fight not only this development, but future concerns of similar nature. You should see an update directly from EMPAC in the coming hours reiterating this, with information on how you can continue contributing to this important matter.
Existing Donations – Double Your Impact!
As a sign of solidarity and commitment to the resounding community voice, Forever WILD, via Double Dog Ranch and Rising Roots Farm, are collectively matching existing donations to this Change.org petition as a direct contribution to EMPAC’s legal fund for Campbell Ranch actions. Your generosity has been and will continue to be critical in the efforts to protect our East Mountains.
What’s Next? The Appeal & Beyond:
EMPAC is preparing a formal appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission's recent approval. They urgently need your support to fund this critical legal action. Your donations to EMPAC, via www.TheEMPAC.org will directly cover the costs of legal expenses.
A Shared Vision for the Future:
Beyond the immediate appeal, we’re committed to a long-term fight for sustainable development in the East Mountains. This includes activities such as the proposed solar farm, preserving open space, protecting our water, and ultimately defending our way of life.

Enhanced Community Engagement:
We’ve joined the EMPAC coalition to more effectively create ways for you to participate. We recognize the limitations of traditional petitions and are exploring improved, real-time options to gather petition/action signatures, support donations to specific causes, and foster transparent discussion. We're also looking to develop additional opportunities for you to share your expertise and contribute your skills to our collective conservation efforts. The goal remains to empower residents to take direct action on this and other crucial issues impacting the East Mountains.
Again - this is not the end. We are transitioning and focusing our efforts in order to increase our chances of collective success, and we still need you. Please, subscribe to EMPAC and help to continue the conversation. We are not going anywhere, and everyone's voice should matter in this conversation.
