July 2011 Archives
Agriculture:
The California Department of Agriculture and Food today announced the launch of a new blog intended to keep the public updated on what's going on at the state agency.
Waterways:
Urban Los Angeles may often be referred to "park poor," but up in the Owens Valley, Inyo County officials see the controversial land grab a century ago as an opportunity for recreational tourism.
Commentary:
It makes sense that the National Park Service just cut down redwoods at the home of our greatest tree hugger, John Muir. And it doesn't. This conflict lies at the heart of the preservationist movement.
Wildlife:
There's some good news for fans of the Peninsular bighorn sheep: the iconic desert critter's numbers seem to be up this year, at least in the environs of Anza Borrego Desert State Park.
Weather:
The nation's eyes were briefly on Phoenix, AZ this week, as that sprawling city found itself in the path of a violent, mile-high dust storm -- a haboob, from the Arabic word for "phenomenon."
Ocean:
The California Game and Fish Commission last week voted to include the possibility of allowing tribes to subsistence fish in some proposed marine protection areas in Northern California.
