Newhall Ranch hearing tonight, environmental impact comments sought

THIS CAME in late, but for those following Newhall Ranch development and Santa Clara River issues, there will be a hearing on the environmental review process tonight, June 11, 6:30 pm at Rancho Pico Middle School, 26250 W. Valencia Blvd, Stevenson Ranch, 91381. A California Native Plant society rally begins at 6pm. CNPS will focus on  the endangered San Fernando Valley Spineflower (once believed extinct) on the property in question and request a 120-day extension for comments as people review the environmental documentation.  Those who can’t attend but wish to comment should do so by e-mail to Newhallranch@dfg.ca.gov before June 26.
