At a time when California is facing a severe budget shortfall and State Parks may be shut down, how can you expect to receive any funding for a land acquisition of this size?
Any public funding from the State of California would come from bond funds, not general revenues. This is exactly the kind of opportunity for far-reaching protection of Californias natural heritage that led voters to approve numerous bonds that can help fund the purchase of the additional 62,000 acres. Funding is also not limited to state dollars. Federal and private dollars could also be used to purchase the development rights.
