Join us for special joint meeting of the Sierra Club and Audubon to learn about the state parkland known as Tesla. Located in eastern Alameda County near the San Joaquin County line, Tesla has been as the center of conservation efforts in the northern Diablo Range for over 2 decades. Celeste Garamendi, a founding member of Friends of Tesla Park, will discuss Tesla’s rich natural and cultural landscape. Generations of naturalists and scientists have studied Tesla’s exceptional biodiversity and sensitive habitats. Local Tribes call Tesla “Hismet Warep,” meaning “Sacred Earth” in the Ohlone Chochenyo language. Having fought back the destructive plan to open Tesla to OHV recreation, State Parks is now planning for what type of unit of the State Parks System Tesla will be. A large coalition, including the Sierra Club and Audubon, are working to establish Tesla as a State Park Reserve. Join us to learn more about the work to permanently preserve this important native landscape on our doorstep.There is a short 6+ minute video that is on the website at www.teslapark.org (home page ‘Watch the Story” button, or at this post link https://teslapark.org/watch-video-tesla-hismet-warep-sacred-earth/
