A meeting is slated to be held next month to discuss how to most effectively limit the damage of the large numbers of people visiting Point Lobos State Reserve, and the public’s input is being sought. One plan calls for limiting the number of people allowed in each day, while another would require people to make reservations. Because there have also been issues with people hiking off-trail, and people collecting when they’re not allowed to (in a state natural reserve), 19-thousand new native plants have already been planted and 9-thousand more are scheduled to be planted this fall…..and new fencing has been put in.
The public is encouraged to attend, and make comments about the proposed plans, at a September 10th meeting that is scheduled to be held from 6 – 9 p.m. at Rancho Canada.
