Assembly Members Bigelow and Dahle Appointed to the Sierra Nevada Conservancy
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon has appointed Assembly Member Frank Bigelow (R-O’Neals) and Assembly Member Brian Dahle (R-Beiber) to serve as non-voting members on the Sierra Nevada Conservancy Board.
“The drought has left nearly 30 million dead trees in the Sierra, setting the stage for even more dangerous fire seasons. Megafires threaten local communities, but they’re not just a local problem. They cost the state hundreds of millions to contain and can ruin water quality for millions of users downstream,” Dahle said.
Both Assembly Member Dahle and Assembly Member Bigelow are former RCRC Board Members, and previously served on the Conservancy board as County Supervisors.
The Sierra Nevada Conservancy was created in 2004 and supports efforts that preserve and restore significant natural and recreational resources, and improve the overall economic and social well-being of the Sierra Nevada Region.
