Take Action On Newhall Ranch

We have received notice from the County of a Public Hearing on the FEIR for one of the tract maps for Newhall Ranch The meeting will be at the Board of Supervisor's on Tuesday, Oct. 4th at 9:30am. We are requesting that concerned members support our efforts to halt this next phase of the project by commenting at the hearing. The proposed Newhall Ranch project would have a permanent detrimental affect to our community for many decades to come by closing off wildlife corridors, worsening traffic along Interstate. 5, and increasing air pollution. This project is situated along the Santa Clara River, Los Angeles County's last mostly wild river. It is still home to many endangered species including amphibians, fish, birds and reptiles. The Santa Clara River is a last treasure trove of the flora and fauna that existed in the Los Angeles region for many centuries. For instance, the San Fernando Valley Spineflower was re-discovered on the Newhall Ranch project after being thought extinct. Now many Of these species no longer exist anywhere else. We need your help!
