The fate of land that was once removed from the then-Joshua Tree National Monument for mining, and almost became home to a huge landfill, and still could host a hydroelectric project, is up for discussion. Reporter Dan Stork says the public is invited to join the conversation in Joshua Tree…
The National Park Service is holding a public scoping meeting on August 5 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Joshua Tree Community Center. The subject: Revision of the boundaries of Joshua Tree National Park, with the possibility of returning to the Park lands that were removed from the then-Joshua Tree National Monument in 1950. Local environmentalists are holding a pre-meeting from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on August 5 to discuss the issue, opportunities, distribute talking points, and coordinate strategy at a location in Joshua Tree. Contact information for the pre-meeting can be found in this story at z1077fm.com.
