Just three miles off of Interstate 80, Castle Peak Potential Wilderness is among the most scenic areas in the Tahoe National Forest. Home to extraordinary old-growth red fir forests and the little Truckee River, Castle Peak provides clean drinking water to residents of Nevada County.

Thank Gov. Schwarzenegger for honoring California's natural heritage

Yesterday, Governor Schwarzenegger unveiled the design of the new California quarter, which will feature John Muir, a California condor, and Yosemite National Park's Half Dome mountain. At the ceremony, the Governor declared: "These three images will show California's wildlife, California's magnificent landscape and our commitment to preserving the Golden State for generations."

Please send the Governor an email to thank him for making the new quarter a symbol of our commitment to protect California's natural heritage.

Governor Schwarzegger can be reached at: governor@governor.ca.gov
