Preserving the Sierras – Northern Sierra Partnership

0

Kudos to the Northern Sierra Partnership, an effort to buy undeveloped land in the Sierra Nevada in order to preserve them for future generations before any large scale building starts to occur.

Via Mercury News:

Jim and Becky Morgan of Los Altos Hills — he, the retired CEO of Applied Materials and she, a former Santa Clara County supervisor and Republican state senator — have launched an ambitious project to raise $100 million in the next five years to preserve land across the Sierra.

They are determined to protect up to 100,000 acres between south of Lake Tahoe and Lassen Volcanic National Park, all within a 125-mile swath of majestic forests and snow-capped peaks.

Unlike other donors who have spent millions to buy California’s pricey beach-front property for parks, or saved old-growth redwoods mired in political battles, the Morgans see the Northern Sierra as they would a heady startup venture. If you commit early, before all the hype, prices are still cheap.
