THE BERRYESSA SNOW MOUNTAIN NATIONAL MONUMENT EXPANSION ACT, H.R. 6366

In 2022, Senator Alex Padilla, the late Senator Diane Feinstein, and Congressmen John Garamendi and Mike Thompson introduced The Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument Expansion Act. They reintroduced the bills in 2024. This legislation would expand Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument by nearly 4,000 acres to include the Lake County portion of Walker Ridge, known as Molok Luyuk (Condor Ridge), in Patwin. The bill would also ensure that federally recognized tribes can co-manage the land with the federal agencies, rename the Ridge to Molok Luyuk and require a landscape scale management plan.

This ridgeline and the surrounding area has cultural significance to Native Americans, is home to Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, and Tule Elk. The unusual serpentine soil along the ridge provides a home for rare plant species including the adobe lily (Fritillaria pluriflora) and scythleaf onion (Allium falcifolium). The Act will protect these special areas and secure recreation opportunities in the area while boosting local economies and honoring its cultural significance.
