YOUR ACTION NEEDED
Senator Barbara Boxer’s Proposed Wilderness Act
Please come and tell the Board of Supervisors and Tom Bohigian from Boxer’s staff what you think about additions to the Wilderness areas and designation of the Clavey and 10 tributaries as Wild and Scenic.
WHERE: Board of Supervisors Chamber
WHEN: Tuesday May 21, 2002
WHY: The advocates of this bill will be there is force. We need to let the Board and Boxer’s office know that the advocates do not represent all of Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties. Senator Boxer wants to know what the people of California think of this bill. Your appearance means that you want to be “stand up and be counted.” As Bruce Vincent has often observed, “The world is run by those who show up.”
Important Points:
2,424,156 Total CA acres from Oregon to the Mexican border
20 Rivers designated as Wild and Scenic
$24,000,000.00 per year for trails, tourism, law enforcement, and land purchase of inholders
Emigrant area addition 25,280 acres
Stanislaus/Humbolt Toiyabe 35,200 acres
When is enough, enough?
There are discrepancies between this legislation and the Wilderness bill of 1964. What happens when there is a discrepancy? The more strict legislation may apply.
There are promises being made that won’t be able to be kept because of the bill passed in 1964.
What about buffer zones? They are being applied to existing wilderness now.
We need to look beyond what is being proposed here in the Stanislaus. There are other serious implications across the state as well.
For multiple use, Wilderness is LOST land.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you cannot make this meeting, please fax letters of opposition to Boxer's Wilderness bill to the supervisors:
Fax: (209) 533-5510
Ratzlaff, Don (District 2)
Rotelli, Larry (District 1)
Syvester, Laurie (District 3)
Thornton, Mark (District 4)
You letter need not be long. Just a quick note to ask them to support multiple-use on public lands by opposing more wilderness areas.
