SACRAMENTO >> Senator Mike McGuire is helping to lead the way on a new Senate Environmental Protection Legislative Package introduced to shield California from potential harmful changes in federal law.
California is home to 45 million acres of federal Wildlands which feature millions of acres of forest, scenic rivers and watersheds — which is the drinking source for millions of residents — open spaces and the rugged California coast.
“The threat from the Trump Administration to our Federal public lands is real and the consequences are great if the state doesn’t advance proactive policies to protect the Golden State’s treasured natural resources,” McGuire said. “Our federal Wildlands and National Parks are America’s gathering grounds, our nation’s backyard. These bills will help protect the 45 million acres of Federal lands that exist in California from devastating strip mines along with invasive oil and gas drilling.”
Senator McGuire represents seven counties in Northern California. 3.3 million acres of federal lands exist in the North Coast District.
