- News
During my reporting on this series, the people I interviewed kept coming back to one central question: what was the original intention of the founders of Point Reyes National Seashore? Did they intend ranching to be here forever? Or was ranching supposed to be phased out to make room for conservation?
In this episode, we dive deep into the formation of the park to discover how Point Reyes National Seashore was created, and what those founders really had in mind for the future of ranching.
We also investigate the political relationships between ranchers, the National Park Service, and local politicians like Jared Huffman and Diane Feinstein, to understand how those relationships shape debate and policy to this day.
Written and reported by Sam Anderson. Editing by Lucy Kang. Cover art, cinematography and web design by Anthony Wells. Theme music by Christopher Rose and Robert Quijano.
Originally broadcast on 94.1 KPFA.
