| Southland Open Space & Forest Preservation Project |
|
IEWK is kicking-off its newest project that will involve mapping, cleaning up and studying the long-neglected Temescal Creek. This vital corridor is linked to the Cleveland National Forest by two remaining canyons (Bedford and Indian) so we hope to gain interest in preserving them as permanent open space.
The project also includes advocacy work against the 12-mile Santa Ana Mountain Tunnel and protecting the 4 reserves of the Lake Mathews/Gavilan Hills area. We are joining forces with a grassroots group called "Preserve the Plateau" - click HERE for their informative slideshow.
Help us protect our wildlands! Stay tuned for future announcements to get actively involved! |
| LEAPS Hydroelectric Project Update |
|
Great news from the CA Public Utilities  Commission! The transmission-line component of the LEAPS project has been DISMISSED without prejudice! Our National Forest is safe from a dangerous, ugly and unnecessary powerline.
