Commissioner Escobar Urges Preservation of Castner Range

In a letter to Mr. John Barrera of Fort Bliss, County Commissioner Veronica Escobar urges the Army to preserve Castner Range in its natural state. Escobar states that such preservation "would be mitigation for the inevitable destruction of natural habitat caused by the expansion of Fort Bliss".

As an advocate of green space and eco-tourism, Commissioner Escobar believes that preserving Castner can best be done by a conservation conveyance. Preserving the space will also "create more nature-focused outdoor opportunities for children growing up in El Paso."
