San Bernardino County officials remember late Sen. Dianne Feinstein
Mojave Desert Land Trust officials stated the death of Feinstein meant the California desert “has lost one of its greatest champions.”
“Senator Feinstein’s steadfast and inspirational leadership led to the protection of the California desert’s most important archeological and scientific wonders, world-renowned views and recreational opportunities, and critical habitat and water sources,” said Joint Land Trust Executive Directors Cody Hanford and Kelly Herbinson. “She helped shape California desert conservation on a landscape scale to forever support the natural connectivity of the region’s unique flora and fauna. She will be greatly missed but her legacy lives on in the growing community that is working to preserve the desert for future generations,”
