Facts and Opinions on Woodlands Park
The Los Angeles Audubon Society would like to clarify the facts surrounding our letter printed in the April 20 edition of The Times.
The proposed Santa Clarita Woodlands Park is 6,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness, not 600.
We sent a letter on March 17 to the four leading candidates for the race in the 12th Council District asking where they stood on the park.
When our letter to The Times was mailed on April 2, the only written response we had was from Julie Korenstein supporting the park. However, on primary day April 9, we did receive a letter from Hal Bernson in which he said, “I cannot commit to a position regarding the formation of the Santa Clarita Woodlands Park until I can discuss this matter with other government agencies to determine the precise ramifications of this action.”
Since the Woodlands Park proposal has been studied and discussed for two or three years, receiving media coverage and public meetings, Bernson’s statement is somewhat curious.
