Central Coast Heritage Protection Act

The Central Coast Heritage Protection Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 2545, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to protect and preserve important natural and cultural resources along the Central Coast of California.

The bill specifically aims to designate certain areas within the Los Padres National Forest and the Carrizo Plain National Monument as wilderness areas. This designation would provide these areas with additional protections, such as prohibiting new roads and development, to ensure their preservation for future generations.

Additionally, the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act seeks to expand the boundaries of the existing Ventana Wilderness and create the new Black Mountain Wilderness. These expansions would further protect important habitats and wildlife corridors in the region. Overall, the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act is aimed at conserving the unique and diverse landscapes of the Central Coast of California for the benefit of both current and future generations.
