Mono Lake Tufa State Recreation Area

Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve is one of the most unique areas in the world.

Please write to California representatives to ask them to support the parks. If you don't live in California, your letters still are important, particularly if parks influence your interest in visiting the state. Remember that this is an economic issue, so it will help if you write about the money you spend at local businesses while you are visiting the parks. You can also support one of the foundations that is helping to fund the threatened parks. You can find a list of foundations here.
To find out more about what you can do to help save California's State Parks by going to the California State Parks Foundation webside (http://www.calparks.org/).
Please also check the Save Our State Parks website (http://savestateparks.org/) and follow them on Facebook.
Thank you!!!

Mono Lake itself has been an environmental battleground for years. Its unique ecosystem provides critical habitat for many animals, but its water is wanted by Southern California farmers and cities.
