Red Flag Days
In 2019 an OHV rider in Carnegie SVRA started a wildfire. A Red Flag Fire Warning has been issued since Monday, yet Carnegie SVRA remains open. With dangerous air quality and fire conditions, why is Carnegie SVRA open to OHV riders?
Spare the Air Days
Carnegie SVRA has been open from September 1 through today (September 7), which were all Spare the Air Days. With increased health risks from poor air quality, let alone GHG emissions, how can State Parks allow a non-essential air polluting activity and expand it into Tesla Park?
Tricolored Blackbirds
Thanks for your work, California Audubon! You can find tricolored blackbirds at Tesla Park. To help save this wonderful species in decline, we need to #SaveTeslaPark. https://ca.audubon.org/news/177000-tricolored-blackbirds-saved-2020
Air Pollution & Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation
A major unavoidable environmental impact of opening Tesla Park to off-highway vehicle recreation is air pollution. With air quality already hit hard by climate change & wildfires, this is the wrong use for public land.
Golden Eagles & Tule Elk
It’s no mystery why Golden Eagles & Tule Elk frequent Tesla Park but not neighboring Carnegie SVRA. Off-highway vehicles damage habitats, vegetation & wildlife. Time to protect this biodiversity hotspot!

“Researchers have found that habitat destruction & biodiversity loss are making it easier for [viruses like Covid-19] to spread from animals to humans.” Tesla is a top CA biodiversity hotspot. Don’t let it be destroyed. (Sierra Club quote tweet) #SaveTeslaPark https://www.latimes.com/environment/newsletter/2020-05-21/boiling-point-save-natural-world-protect-30-percent-earth-boiling-point
