Show Notes
Beth Touchette has lived in Marin County for a long time, and has often seen seen cattle grazing in Point Reyes National Seashore. It's an unusual sight, one not common in National Parks around the United States. She asked Bay Curious: "How did we end up allowing cattle in a national park?" Beth’s question won a voting round on BayCurious.org, and is at the heart of a battle that’s been heating up between environmental groups, ranchers and the National Park Service for years.
