President Joe Biden has designated the Castner Range as a national monument, protecting 6,600 acres that were once home to Native American tribes
President Joe Biden speaks about turning the Castner Range into a national monument, a designation that will conserve an amazing landscape as well as the history and heritage of the region.Unseen but not unknown, Castner Range represented a hidden treasure in the West Texas town of El Paso.. What was once vivid only in the imagination will now become bright and gleaming in real life. The city cannot wait.
Biden also declared Avi Kwa Ame, 500,000 acres of land in Nevada considered sacred to Native tribes, to be a national monument. Both designations utilized the 1906 Antiquities Act to preserve national monuments on federal land. The assignations will prevent private development on the lands, while ensuring that the federal government will enact measures to protect the areas.
While the designation was the product of a community effort decades in the making, the public must wait before it can enjoy the fruits of that labor. The range, a Fort Bliss training site from 1926 to 1966, remains full of unexploded munitions that must be removed.
Nature is a towering presence in El Paso — literally. The Franklin Mountains bisect the city, from the northeast to the southwest. They stretch from one end of town to the other, 14 miles long, three miles wide, with elevations reaching as high as a mile.The range lies in the foothills of these mountains, which form an awe-inspiring backdrop. Mexican poppies bloom in the valley during the spring, producing a yellow carpet that seems as bright as the sun.
