Enough Funding To Receive Gift

Eight years of work by the Trust for Public Land to turn the Coast Dairy Ranch site near Santa Cruz over to public agencies were finally successful when, according to the S.F. Chronicle, “Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently allocated $16.4 million in the 2007 budget to boost park operations, and the state Public Works Board unanimously approved the deal July 14.”

The site comprises 6845 acres ten miles north of Santa Cruz, and transfers control of seven beaches (Scott Creek, Davenport Landing, Davenport, Sharktooth, Bonny Doon, Yellow Bank and Laguna Creek) to the state.

We’re not as familiar with the others, but when we lived in the area a few years back, Bonny Doon was popular as both dog-friendly and clothing optional, and overnight beach camping regularly occurred. Curious whether the new management of this beach will lead to changes in these practices.
