Articles From the
Spring-Summer 1998
Mono Lake Newsletter
Twenty
years. Over 7,000 days. Plus a few extra years of work
before the Committee was official. That's a lot of hours
of work on Mono's behalf, and they've added up to
something amazing: a once-threatened lake rising toward a
new future, a distant city committed to wise water use,
and a well populated family of Mono Lake supporters. In
this, the Mono Lake Committee's twentieth year, we're
planning to bring everyone together for one terrific
event to celebrate. Look for details here and plan to
join us at the lake.
Looking at what's been accomplished in 20 years, imagine what the future holds! Dave Winkler, one of the original researchers who saw Mono's plight, proposes intriguing scientific questions for the future in his article on the opposite page. Restoration work, education, and ongoing protection efforts are all in our future together as well. Look for lots of restoration news in the next issue, as we expect a Water Board order by then.
Back in the present day, all sorts of things are happening at Mono Lake this year, from Outdoor Experiences, to Field Seminars to detailed scientific research. And one Mono Lake family event of note: Congratulations to Sally Gaines on her recent marriage to Rick Kattelmann!
