Petition to Save Mather-area Habitat

New housing threatens unique vernal pools, wetlands habitat and nature areas of Mather

Sacramento County is planning added construction of over 3,500 homes in the South Mather development (triple the current number!). The proposal now moving forward includes an expansion of Zinfandel Drive and Eagles Nest Road to a 4- to 6-lane highway and extension of a sewer trunk line through delicate vernal pools, wetlands habitat and nature areas of Mather.

Your Mather neighbors have joined hands to prevent or mitigate the harm to these nature areas, which are unique to California and habitat for many at-risk species. If you share their concerns, please consider signing the online petition exists at Change.org. The link: http://tinyurl.com/oooogex

Please also share the link with sympathetic friends and neighbors.  The Mather Alliance appreciates your support!
