0 Comment
“We want to preserve the 7,000 acres that you see behind me known as Castner Range,” O’Rourke, D-El Paso, said at the 10th annual Poppy Fest held at the range. “There has been some level of human habitation for over 10,000 years, rare plants and animal species here and it is part of our cultural and ecological heritage. We want to make sure we pass that on to the generations that follow and having this declared a national monument by the President is the surest way of doing that.”
