In 2023, EPIC and the Save Jackson Coalition, among other organizations, filed protests to water rights applications filed by Cal Fire in Jackson Demonstration State Forest (JDSF).

The California Natural Resources Agency, the state agency tasked with carrying out our state goal of protecting 30% of land and coastal waters by 2030 released their annual progress report on July 7th. In it, they reported that we have safeguarded 26.1% of lands and 21.9% of coastal waters thus far.

Earlier this June, EPIC had the extraordinary opportunity to take to the skies with EcoFlight, a nonprofit dedicated to illuminating environmental issues through the unique vantage of aerial perspective.
