  • Such a simple thing to respect, preserve and understand, that the natural beauty enjoyed by so many can be dismissed so easily by the few that need to get a clue. There is Karma out there. What goes around at some point will come around. Hard to believe that we have failed to educate the populace that the world does not revolve around them.....

  • Big Sur Land Use Plan

    5.3.1 Land Use Categories

    1. National Forest

    “The U.S. Forest Service manages the Los Padres National Forest under a multiple use concept in which conservation of plants and wildlife communities, protection of watersheds, maintenance of scenic beauty, and low intensity recreation are principal land use activities.”

    We believe that off-road vehicle camping in Big Sur is destroying its sensitive and natural environment and, due to its increased popularity, is not a low intensity recreation.

  • I just Do Not Understand how people can be so disrespectful of one of our most Precious Places on this Earth???!!!
    I came from So. California more than 48 years ago and I remember back in the 70s when i lived in Big Sur, working for Family At Nepenthe & went for a hike on Mr. Hill's property by the Pt. Sur Lighthouse...such a beautiful place...where the forest meets the ocean...Im like writing poetry totally inspired when I see people camping out tearing up trees to make a fire but with trash all around them..drinking & such.i read them the riot act in no uncertain terms...ugh...i cannot understand either how people don't care or do not seem to understand the concept of stewardship of our Earth home...i made such an amazing shift of consciousness back in those days...was quite like going thru a portal to a new reality...of course infinitely grateful I was able to do so....what has happened to our world since the Pandemic is just 😨 scary..
    seems many people have lost their higher values & respect for anything except their own base desires...
