Future of Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument Unclear – July 27, 2017

Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument covers over 3-hundred-thousand acres of land across five Northern California counties. But now the area is at risk of losing its monument designation.

Earlier this week, we reported on President Trump’s executive order to review the 2015 expansion of National Marine Sanctuaries. The same week in April, the president ordered Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to review 27 National Monuments across the U-S. Six of those are in California, including Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument in Northern California. As KRCB’s Tiffany Camhi reports, supporters of the monument are doing everything they can to keep this public land protected.
