Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust is a formal endorser of Proposition 68, the California Clean Water and Safe Parks Act. In endorsing we join other local wetlands protection groups like the Bolsa Chica Land Trust and Banning Ranch Conservancy as well as impressive statewide and national environmental protection organizations like the Sierra Club and Audubon Society.
We support Proposition 68 because of the myriad of good things it will do for California open space and our local wetlands.
California faces growing challenges to our water supplies and natural resources due to a changing climate that has put us and our environment in jeopardy as we face increasingly intense wildfires, droughts, and floods. But there is much that we can do to prepare California’s natural resources, and local wetlands, for the future. Now is the time to invest in clean water, safe parks and natural areas, to protect our economy and public health, and to safeguard California’s unique resources for the next generation.
Prop 68 will help California deal with droughts and wildfires that could become more frequent and severe. It takes a smart, efficient approach, recycling more water locally, and making local water systems more effective with proven cost-saving solutions.
Prop 68 will also keep toxic pollutants out of our water supplies, clean up groundwater, and protect land around the rivers, lakes, and streams that are the sources of our drinking water.
