A step forward for the Coast

It’s not often that the folks in Washington, DC take action on something specific to CGF territory, but this happened yesterday when the Senate passed a bill sponsored by Senator Diane Feinstein that would add the Rancho Corral de Tierra property to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, part of the National Parks Service.

CGF has defended this stunning land, more than 4,000 acres around Moss Beach and Montara on the San Mateo County Coast, for decades. Several years ago, in a huge win for the environment, POST purchased the property.

If the House is able to pass a similar bill and the President signs off, POST will sell these lands at half-price to the GGNRA, thus protecting these lands in the public domain.

More details are in today’s San Mateo Times article.
