Tejon-Tehachapi Park will someday be (we hope) a 245,000-acre state or
national park occupying most of the territory of Tejon
Ranch.
Tejon-Tehachapi Park would be a spectacular
national or state park one-third the size of Yosemite just an hour from
Los Angeles.
The park would protect California’s
natural heritage: huge forests of native oak, cedar and pine, rare native
grasslands, and hillsides that burst into gorgeous wildflower displays
in the spring; bear and elk, rare pronghorn antelope, and a myriad of
imperiled native species; streams and lakes as well as the Tehachapi mountains
– the Pacific Crest Trail would follow the mountains’ backbone.
It must be preserved as a legacy for our
children.
What You Can Do
- Donate money to help promote the park by sending a check made out
to “Sierra Club Angeles Chapter” to the Sierra Club’s
Tejon-Tehachapi Park Fund, 3435 Wilshire Blvd., #320, Los Angeles, CA
90010-1904. Since it will be used for lobbying for the park, the donation
is not tax-deductible.
- Visit http://lists.SierraClub.org
and sign up for the ANGELES-TEJON-TEHACHAPI-FORUM list to receive email
alerts of Tejon events and issues.
- Pass out copies of Tejon Park literature at community events. You
can obtain copies from Jennifer Robinson at (213) 387-4287 X204.
- Contact your local County Supervisor, State Assemblymember or Senator,
Congressman, or the Governor to express your desire for preservation
of this land as a park.
