  Turtle Island Restoration Network, the Coalition to Save Point Reyes National Seashore, and several community groups hosted an online webinar on June 30, 2021 to inform the public on the facts regarding the National Park Service’s prioritization of private ranching and the impact of commercial operations on our public land in Point Reyes National Seashore.  During the webinar, subject matter experts presented myths versus facts on key topics such as environmental impact, Miwok history, legal issues, economic aspects, the fairness of the process, public opinion, and more.  

 What started as a simple animal advocacy project has led to the discovery of an incredible amount of corruption fueled by the power of the animal agricultural industry.  Some of the worst examples of land management that exist in the nation are taking place within a national seashore celebrated for its unique beauty and array of wildlife.
