Only a handful of America’s national parks permit cattle grazing. One-third of the lands managed by Point Reyes National Seashore —some 18,000 acres of Point Reyes and 14,000 of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area—is currently dedicated to the exclusive use of two dozen ranchers. There are 6,000 cattle in the Seashore, more than there are Tule elk on the planet. Cows outnumber elk in the park 10 to 1. But the problems at the Seashore extend far beyond elk.

Our Restore Point Reyes Seashore campaign is fighting to reform management failures that threaten the future of the park itself. We are raising awareness, inspiring public involvement, and taking appropriate action— including in the courts. We don’t engage in nor endorse anyone breaking the law—including the NPS. Our goal is to require the NPS to follow the law— managing our national parks and the wildlife and resources therein “unimpaired for future generations.”
