County to Vote on Resolution to Preserve Castner Range

Castner Range carpeted with Mexican poppies

The very first item on the agenda for Monday's County Commissioners meeting is a resolution "advocating the preservation of Castner Range for future generations." The meeting on Monday, March 29, begins at 9:30 a.m. Those who wish to show support for the resolution should plan on arriving before the meeting begins.

The El Paso City Council passed a similar resolution in 2006. The Franklin Mountains Wilderness Coalition has long been advocating for the preservation of the range. Judy Ackerman, Secretary of FMWC, has tirelessly worked on this issue for several years now.

FMWC has published a white paper on the conservation conveyance of Castner Range.
