Assemblymember Bill Monning has introduced legislation (AB 2074) that would designate as state wilderness 920 acres in the north easterly corner of Andrew Molera State Park. This is the area from the top of the coast ridge down to the S. Fork of the Little Sur River and adjacent to the federal Ventana Wilderness Area. The proposed wilderness boundaries are held back from adjacent private properties and from the old ridge top road, which has been used as a firebreak.
The proposed wilderness features spectacular views of the canyon of the Little Sur River and Pico Blanco. Vegetation ranges from open grasslands, chaparral, and oak woodland to ancient redwood forest. If you have ever hiked the East Molera Trail to the top of the coast ridge and gazed across the canyon of the South Fork to the spectacular crystalline marble summit of Pico Blanco, you know how special these wild lands are.
This area is the wildest part of spectacular Andrew Molera State Park and is wilderness in every sense of the word, except for the official protective designation. If you love the wild lands of this area and want them to remain wild, please send a letter or email to Assemblymember Monning and ask him to protect the Andrew Molera State Park Wilderness. Tell him about your wild land experiences there and why you believe this land should be preserved as wilderness.
