Ronald Reagan Wanted to Preserve and Protect San Onofre State Beach

When the San Onofre State Beach park was opened in Southern California in April 1971, then Governor Ronald Reagan characterized the establishment of the park as "the culmination of many months of dedicated effort by many people to enhance and preserve California's grandeur and beauty. I firmly believe one of the greatest legacies we can leave to future generations is the heritage of our land, but unless we can preserve and protect the unspoiled areas which God has given us, we will have nothing to leave them." - excerpt appeared in the Dec. 2005 Southern Sierran newsletter published by the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club.
