CASTNER RANGE SUPPORT BOOK

Castner Range Booklet: Summary and up to date status on efforts

We’re attaching an electronic booklet that tells you the story of El Paso’s Castner Range, the 7,081-acre closed firing range that still belongs to Fort Bliss. All of you have played a part on Castner Range in recent years, so you know the campaign we had waged to keep it conserved for all time. The booklet tells the history of the Range from pre-historic days through its years as an active artillery site (1926-1966), then into the early 1970s when parts of the Range were transferred to the City of El Paso for development, and onward to our recent, vigorous and successful campaign on behalf of Castner’s conservation.
