William Niman and Nicolette Hahn Niman have initiated legal proceedings against the National Park Service over its decision to restrict agricultural operations across 28,000 acres in Point Reyes National Seashore. They argue this move threatens agricultural heritage, local communities, and national health. Filed in the U.S. District Court for Northern California, the lawsuit follows an agreement between the Nature Conservancy and other ranches to cease operations. The Nimans, who refused the Nature Conservancy's buyout offer, express significant concern over the implications of ending agricultural practices in the park.
This is really a very wrong turn that the park is taking by essentially walking away from agriculture, Nicolette Hahn Niman said Thursday.
The government's action will cause irreparable harm to the park's agricultural heritage, to the environment, to the community, to the regional food supply and to the health of the nation, the lawsuit alleges.
