How can the State say it is fighting Climate Change and then EXPAND, SUBSIDIZE and PROMOTE more motorized recreation? Tesla Park should stay a nature and cultural preserve with no damaging OHV use.
Access for all does not mean access for all uses. Tesla Park is not the place for damaging OHV recreation. Tesla Park should be a nature and cultural preserve.
The top 3 priorities stated by Wade Crowfoot: protect biodiversity; build resilience to protect nature from climate change impacts; provide more access to nature. Tesla Park meets ALL these priorities multiple times over.
Tesla Park must be preserved as part of Governor Newsom’s plan to increase protection of nature to offset climate change. Tesla has extraordinary biodiversity that we cannot sacrifice to damaging OHV recreation. #saveteslappark https://bayareane.ws/3lpYeWV
Tesla Park is home to 42 special status wildlife species and 28 locally rare plant species. Tesla must be protected for all forever as a nature preserve
Tesla Park as a nature preserve provides more access to nature for underserved communities in the East Bay and Northern San Joaquin Valley AND protects threatened biodiversity – that is the win-win.
