EHL Newsletter, Summer 2008 Vol 18 No 3

After two years of negotiations, EHL and other conservation groups reached an historic agreement with the Tejon Ranch Company to permanently protect 240,000 acres of this spectacular 270,000-acre property.

Sales tax renewals that EHL helped craft include hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire habitat lands as mitigation for transportation infrastructure. Land is already being protected.

The Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB), the acquisition arm of the Calif. Dept. of Fish and Game, approved purchases in a wildlife corridor connecting Central and Southern Orange County reserves, long an EHL objective.

EHL is bringing up-to-date scientific information into a discussion over how best to protect homes and the ecosystem.
