a great article was in the los angeles times this sunday, check it out.
this came in the mail today
feels like something is brewing out there on the horizon. tomorrow is the wetlands meeting, held every other month, i am hoping to make it there to catch at least the second hour. i was going to wait until the fall to fire up my bluebirds with button making, bumper sticker printing and t-shirt screening but i think we need to begin sooner than later. even though rumors abound regarding the sale of this treasured property, if it is sold and lost to developers, it could be lost forever. no sense in waiting around to find out, stay tuned! i see some serious craft projects in my near future, maybe a "wildlife" theme?
go to the wetlands website (on my right side bar) and read up on this amazing group of people who want to not only restore the wetlands to protect wildlife, but help clean up the beaches and make an exciting nature reserve (think "el dorado nature center at the beach" theme) that children can visit and help actively restore. if you are a local, please go to the news section and send emails to all the people who can make a difference, just type in your name and address and say: " PLEASE SAVE THE WETLANDS!" this is a critical time to speak out.
i am sure we all agree, we don't need more "do-it yourself" stores and strip malls, this is the last big chunk of open land we have here locally. it can be saved (and restored) but we all need to take a stand. californians seem to have a high tolerance for allowing development on every square inch of land and we are all paying for it now, very little open space remains and EVERYONE complains about it. this is something we can fight for, please help!
:) thanks in advance!
