Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve Faces Grave Threat

It was through the efforts of local residents that the Poppy Reserve was established

Jane Pinheiro, the Lancaster Women’s Club, the “Pennies for Poppies” program contributed by California school children, and efforts by many other local residents made the dream of a park to protect poppies become a reality.

This is not just about wildflowers.  It is about the threat to existing open spaces from commercial development that will have an impact on the environment and animal habitat in the Antelope Valley.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.  They have the money, but we are counting on your love of the Poppy Reserve and the local area to stop this atrocity
