U.S. House to vote on Congressman Salud Carbajal’s Central Coast Heritage Protection Act on Friday
SANTA BARBARA, Calif House representatives from California met Thursday to discuss the importance of protecting one million acres of public land across California.
The meeting came ahead of Friday s vote on the Protecting America s Wilderness and Public Lands Act. It s a package of public lands bills strongly supported by the Biden Administration that would protect lands and waters across California, Colorado, Washington and Arizona.
The package includes Rep. Salud Carbajal s Central Coast Hertiage Protection Act. I m proud this act includes my bill, the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act, which puts into wilderness conservation over 250,000 acres. It establishes the Condor Trail between Los Angeles and Monterey. It protects the ecosystem in the region and it helps our climate change challenge that we have, Carbajal said.
