Friends of Oceano Dunes files motion to intervene in habitat conservation lawsuit

Friends of Oceano Dunes filed a motion to intervene in the Center for Biological Diversity lawsuit challenging California State Parks' habitat conservation plan for Oceano Dunes SVRA. In his October 8 release, Friends President Jim Suty says the organization is seeking to protect continued lawful OHV recreation, beach driving, camping, and motorized public access. Friends says the relief sought in the lawsuit could reduce or eliminate those activities in particular areas, seasons, and circumstances.
