The National Park Service is under pressure from environmental groups to reconsider the 20-year agricultural leases granted to ranch families, citing ecological concerns.
Albert Straus claims that the Nature Conservancy's aim in negotiations is to eliminate all dairies and ranches in the park by purchasing their leases.
The ongoing litigation has been stayed to allow for closed-door mediation aimed at achieving a comprehensive settlement regarding agricultural leases within Point Reyes.
Residents of the park, including agricultural workers and their families, fear losing their homes if the current agricultural leases are terminated.
