Community speaks out over proposed resort along Carpinteria Bluffs
In October 2000, the Land Trust and Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs turned 52-acres of the bluffs over to the City of Carpinteria to own and manage as an open space preserve. In January of this year, story poles went up along 27 acres adjacent to the existing preserve on the bluffs, reigniting a long-burning fire in the community.
