Point Reyes is a National Seashore in Marin. It is home to the iconic Tule Elk and attracts many tourists who come to Point Reyes to view these majestic animals.
What is not so well known is that a full 1/3 of the National Park is leased for private ranching on 28,000 acres at Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This ranching, the leading cause of species extinction and deforestation, is heavily subsidized by taxpayers. Because of the ranching that’s been allowed in a National Park, the Tule Elk are in danger. The ranchers are campaigning to eliminate herds of native Tule Elk that they feel are eating the grass that’s reserved for their cattle. Most of the Tule Elk are currently confined behind an 8-foot-high fence to keep them off parkland leased for cattle grazing.
The impacts from the 6,000 beef and dairy cows at this park are staggering, and well documented: soil erosion, water pollution, invasive plants, declines in fish and bird populations, conflicts with wildlife, loss of public access to public land.
Please join us on 7/7 at 12:30 pm at The New Parkway Theater in Oakland for the screening of Skyler Thomas’ riveting, and eye opening, documentary, The Shame Of Point Reyes. You will be exposed to never before seen footage and a new cut of the film, learn exactly what is happening, and how you can help save the Tule Elk before it’s too late.
