The Grizzly Bear National Monument & The California Chaparral Institute

An important email written by Richard Halsey on March 13, 2009 was forwarded to me this week regarding the Grizzly Bear National Monument. I am including it in its entirety, to pass along the word. I recommend watching the YouTube video (link provided below). Please pass along this information to your friends and family. I also strongly suggest you check out the website mentioned at the very bottom of the message (www.californiachaparral.org) - it's a great resource for more information about... our California chaparral!

Dear Friend of the Chaparral,

It’s time to celebrate what was once the chaparral’s most dominant mammal, the California Grizzly Bear, by setting aside the area where the last one was killed in southern California in 1908.

The Grizzly Bear National Monument within the Cleveland National Forest.

Spread the word. Begin talking to your US Congressional and US Senatorial representatives.

The Grizzly Bear National Monument will help spread the word about the fragility of nature and the importance of recognizing what has been lost so we don’t lose anymore.
