Date: 07/03/2010 Dear California BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
The California Wilderness Coalition is sending emails alerting their members to another Great American Outdoors glistening session at the Vanderhoef Studio Theater in the Mondavi Center at U.C. Davis. The meeting is July 7 at 11 am.
As of this minute, this meeting is NOT on the official Great American Outdoor website:
http://www.doi.gov/americasgreatoutdoors/
In the Action Alert we sent yesterday I speculated that there is a very real possibility this might just end up being a giant vehicle to hand the “conservation community” whatever is on its latest wish list.
Well, I guess I can say I told you so. CWC's alert encourages their supporters to push adminstration officials to designate the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Conservation Area, a 100 mile swath of public land stretching from Lake Berryessa to Snow Mountain. The Berryessa NCA is one of the 14 National Monuments mentioned in the now infamous leaked memo from the Department of the Interior.
Lets not let that happen. The fact that we have to learn of meetings from the CWC is NOT a good sign. Please take a minute to respond to our action alert and if possible, please attend one or more of the meetings.
We'll try our best to keep you updated.
