The public is invited to a documentary video presentation on the long history of cattle grazing in the Sierra Nevada.
Julia Costello and Judith Marvin have produced a movie on grazing cattle in the high country. It will show this Sunday afternoon in Murphys. There are many scenes from the Hwy 4 corridor and many of our high meadows including Mattey Meadow. You will recognize many of the folks in the movie.
Where: Old School House, Jones Street, Murphys
When: Sunday, February 24th, 3:30 – 5:00 PM
Since Forest Preserves were established in the 1890s, the U.S. Government has increasingly sought to balance citizens’ rights to use these resources with their stewardship responsibility to protect these lands from degradation. This short documentary presents current controversies over high-country grazing and hopes for a future resolution.
Refreshments will be served.
Come and share your ranching stories.
