The Carrizo Plain Natural Area
became the Carrizo Plain National Monument in January 2001 by presidential
proclamation. The park is noted for its geologic features (including the
San Andreas Fault and Soda Dry Lake), archeological sites, and wildlife.
The park is the largest remaining remnant of the original San Joaquin
Valley habitat. The national monument encompasses almost 250,000 acres.
The land is cooperative managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the
California Department of Fish and Game, and The Nature Conservancy. |
