Bill Niman, founder of Niman Ranch, has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Interior and the National Park Service due to plans to phase out ranching at Point Reyes National Seashore. The suit, representing the Nimans, argues this initiative would cause irreparable harm to local agricultural heritage, the environment, and community health. The park's management plan aims to shut down ranching on most ranches in the area by 2026, following a settlement from a previous environmental lawsuit concerning elk populations. The Nimans advocate for regenerative agriculture practices at Point Reyes.
The lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Interior claims that ending ranching at Point Reyes will irreparably harm agricultural heritage and regional food supply.
Bill Niman, co-founder of Niman Ranch, argues the park service's plan violates laws intended to protect agricultural practices and threatens community health.
