Hear Why We Need to Protect the Miller Peninsula
Thursday October 19, 7PM on ZoomIn the 1980s, Sierra Club leader Darlene Schanfald became a whistleblower when she learned of a secret deal between Washington State and the multinational firm, Mitsubishi, to develop land that had been set aside for a state park. Outraged citizens were able to keep the land for a state park.
Over the years, with no state funds for developing the park, the park became a day use site for hikers, non-motorized bikers and equestrians, one of only 17 day-use parks in State Parks’ system. But now, State Parks has taken a page from Mitsubishi and plans to intensively develop the parkland, destroying its natural and ecological features.
Join our monthly presentation for a walk through of this park and the threats it faces.

This does seem to be a spectacularly ill-conceived idea of State Parks for so many reasons.
