Landmark agreement with Tejon Ranch protects 90 percent of the largest remaining contiguous private landholding in California. The preserved land covers 240,000 acres, an area eight times the size of San Francisco, at the confluence of four major ecological regions: the Sierra Nevada, Mojave Desert, Coastal Range, and San Joaquin Valley.


So many pros and cons on this one. But if it was the only way... It is sad that they will prosecute a hunter for accidentally killing a condor but allow their habitat to be taken, which will also kill them. Other issues: The new development will get power from a coal-burning plant. What about water? State supplies are running low. Can our resources really support a larger population? In the Tejon area, you have a unique place. Done right, you could attract tourism, help the economy, and save the environment at the same time, without sprawling developments.
