Black Lake Preserve is breathing easier today, thanks to a dedicated crew of volunteers who rolled up their sleeves and gave the beloved natural area a much-needed facelift. In a whirlwind of activity yesterday, old fencing, barbed wire, railroad ties and even a forgotten shed were cleaned up and removed from the Preserve, making way for a safer and more pristine environment. Volunteers also helped with fence repair and maintenance, ensuring the protection of habitat and conservation values. Volunteers from the Eastern Sierra Land Trust (ESLT), Mono County, the University of Redlands, and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) joined forces yesterday in a remarkable display of community-driven conservation. The stewardship day focused on critical habitat restoration efforts and infrastructure maintenance, protecting sensitive ecosystems vital for local biodiversity.
