The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved new access to the Cotoni-Coast Dairies national monument located off Highway 1 in Santa Cruz County. Earlier this week a management plan was released detailing how the nearly 6,000 acres of coastal-facing public land will be used. The plan includes 27 miles of new trails for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and dog walking. “Today’s accomplishment for Cotoni-Coast Dairies owes its success to the tremendous involvement by partners, organizations and individuals who helped inform the decision-making process,” said BLM Central Coast Field Manager Ben Blom, whose office approved the plan. Cotoni-Coast Dairies was donated to the BLM in 2014 by The Trust for Public Land. More information on this planning effort is available online at https://go.usa.gov/xEJAw.
