Update on the Preservation of Tesla Park

Tesla Park is a place of irreplaceable biodiversity, history, and beauty, and this land needs to be preserved as a legacy of our region’s natural and cultural heritage. 

Senator Glazer and Assembly Member Baker have taken a step proposed by Friends of Tesla Park (FOTP) to support the purchase of Tesla from State Parks through the Altamont Landfill Open Space Committee (ALOSC).  In May, Senator Glazer and Assembly Member Baker sent a joint letter to the Director of State Parks, Lisa Mangat, asking her to encourage the off-Highway Motor Vehicle Division to consider this proposal. This is one way to ensure Tesla is permanently protected from high impact motorized usage.  FOTP hopes Senator Glazer and Assembly Member Baker will continue to work with local stakeholders and the East Bay Legislative delegation to permanently protect Tesla through purchase by the ALOSC or other means.
 
Friends of the Vineyards is strongly against destruction of this sensitive land and has supported its protection for several years. It is now time to save Tesla Park once and for all.
