Ask Governor Schwarzenegger to Sign the Cache Creek Wild & Scenic River Act. He has
until September 6 to sign the most important environmental bill of 2005.
Your letter to Governor Schwarzenneger will help convince him to sign AB 1328 – the
Cache Creek Wild & Scenic River Act. This important river conservation bill is now
on the Governor’s desk after being approved by the California Legislature. The
California Constitution gives him 12 days to sign it.
AB 1328 proposes to add 31 miles of Cache Creek in Lake and Yolo Counties to the
California Wild & Scenic Rivers System. Wild & Scenic designation of the creek would
prohibit new dams and water diversions and help protect the creek’s extraordinary
scenic, recreational, wildlife, and fishery values.
Cache Creek is located in the scenic Coast Range northwest of Sacramento. It is one
of the most popular whitewater boating streams close to the Bay Area and Sacramento.
It supports one of the largest bald eagle and tule elk populations in the state. It
is also rich in Native American cultural heritage. The segment proposed for state
designation flows largely through public lands managed by federal, state, and local
county park agencies.
Sponsored by Assemblymember Lois Wolk (D-Davis), AB 1328 is supported by local
county supervisors and city councils, dozens of businesses and conservation groups,
and numerous university professors and scientists. It has even been endorsed by the
local Chamber of Commerce and daily newspaper. The bill achieved bi-partisan support
in the California Legislature.
Please write and send a letter TODAT to Governor Schwarzenegger urging him to sign
AB 1328 into law and protecting in perpetuity Cache Creek as a Wild and Scenic
River. He has until September 6 to sign this important bill.
Sample Letter:
The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger
Governor of California
State Capitol
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Governor Schwarzenegger:
Please sign into law AB 1328 (Wolk) – the Cache Creek Wild & Scenic River Act. The
bill adds 31 miles of upper Cache Creek to the California Wild & Scenic Rivers
System. The bill will help protect one of the largest bald eagle populations in the
state, one of the most popular whitewater recreation streams near Sacramento and the
Bay Area, and a region rich in Native American cultural heritage.
AB 1328 enjoys widespread support from local elected officials, businesses,
scientists, and conservation and recreation organizations. It has been endorsed by
the local Chamber of Commerce, the local daily newspaper, and gained bi-partisan
support in the California Legislature.
AB 1328 was carefully crafted to ensure that it would not affect local water rights,
farms, private property, or efforts to abate mine pollution or control non-native
vegetation. Please let me know your position is concerning this important bill.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
(name, address)
