NEW FRESNO
EVENTS
Friends of Jesse Morrow
Mountains purpose is to prevent mining on Jesse Morrow and protect
Jesse Morrow Mountains cultural, historical, biological, water and visual
significance as a gateway to the National Parks and Monuments. On a clear
day, many view it from afar such as the freeway section of Highway 180
heading East without realizing how strip mining might change the
view...
In just one year the
Fresno County Board of Supervisors has approved expansion of one mine and
approval of another.
