As California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger weighs in on the Tejon Ranch conservation plan, one must keep in mind all that this historic land mass brings to the environment.
"But the Tejon Ranch Co.'s willingness to create a conservation area is only the first step in a process of planning for the future of this historic Spanish land grant. As Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger considers the offer, and as Los Angeles and Kern counties assess the company's emerging development plans for other parts of the ranch, they must ensure that public money and land-use approvals work together to protect the ranch's unique biological diversity and enormous environmental importance."
