Mariposa Life:
About 1948, the State of California informed Mariposa County that it should begin developing a General Plan. Court decisions had determined that land use planning was a state, not Federal, responsibility. HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT IN TIME

National Be Bear Aware and Wildlife Stewardship Month: Red Bear Dead Bear: Did you notice the Red Bear Dead Bear signs on your way to work this morning? These signs have been placed where bears have been killed by motor vehicles in past years. An average of 15 bears are hit by vehicles each year in the park and several are killed on impact. While most bears are able to run off the road, it’s unknown how many die later from their injuries. The Red Bear Dead Bear signs are a reminder for motorists to slow down, obey the posted speed limits, and to be aware of wildlife along roadsides.
Did you know? Black bears have excellent navigation skills and have been known to return over 150 miles to their home range after being relocated.
