Lodi, Ca. ,
Dear council members'.,--
, _.
We are writing'to express our support for the preservation of
the Mokelumne River. Its wetland banks are vital to native fish and
wildlife species. Undeveloped and undisturbed open space is becom-
ing increasingly rare as the population grows. We believe there is
a serious responsibility to safeguard the pristine nature of Mokel-
umne•s north bank between highway 99 and Woodbridge. Future gener-
ations will be grateful for our foresight in preserving this magni-
ficent river and bordering habitat for the benefit of wildlife and
citizens.
Our family settled in Lodi in 1965, We felt blessed to live
so near the Mokelumne river and its wilderness environment, We take
great pleasure in our Sunday hikes in the wilderness along the Mo-
kelumne. We pray that those who have decision making authority will
exercise their will in preserving and maintaining the river, the
north bank, and the wilderness in their pristine state from 99 to
Woodbridge.
We have little influence over the destiny of the Brazilian
rain forests. We do have influence to protect the environs of the
Mokelumne, It is our fervent wish that we will choose to do so.
Reid Cern
Sincerely,
a,2t✓
