As far as I can tell, squirrels don’t pay taxes for OHV and Hunting use.
Hunters pay the LIONS SHARE of taxes for these lands through firearm and hunting equipment sales.
OHV groups lead cleanups and promote proper trail usage and maintenance.
Please take your land grabbing,squirrel loving ideas elsewhere.
I think there is a clean and simple answer to the endangerment of these squirrels. The City of Santa Clarita should work with Fish & Game, various environmental groups and ICE to move a select population of these indigenous squirrels to a safer and better place.
That would be the City of Santa Clarita. Us poor folk out here in East Canyon Country have lots of dry hills and canyons that aren’t prime property for development. Establishing several flourishing colonies of Xerospermophilus mohavensis in this area would allow for a greater chance of survival when the Feds decide to let thousands of acres of Mojave desert land be covered by Solar Generating facilities.
In addition, once these colonies are discovered in East Canyon Country, that will throw a shoe into the gears of Cemex’ plans to grind the hills down into aggregate and sold to all of Southern California. They can’t possibly continue their nefarious plans once the new EIRs are generated showing this poor endangered species are living cheek-by-jowel with the intended plundering of hundreds of acres of land between Soledad Canyon and the 14 freeway.
Sweet!
And maybe these little guys can scare off the effin’ local ground squirrels who are worse than gophers when it comes to tearing up a backyard.
Very interesting. We could learn a lot from these guys!
