Mono Lake Newsletter

This issue’s cover photo takes us down to Mono’s shore, where the promise of spring hangs in the air. In fact, nary a snowflake is in sight as we complete this issue of the Newsletter—though we know that we’ll be seeing more before the warm days of summer truly arrive.Inside you’ll find a close look at the policy issues facing Mono Lake and the Mono Lake Committee in 1999. There’s a map showing their geographic diversity, a discussion revealing their content complexity, and a discussion of how the Committee chooses what to work on. It all starts on page 11.
You’ll also want to read about the post-fire status of Lee Vining High School on page 16, and be sure to take a look at this year’s Field Seminar lineup.
This is the first newsletter in many years to have a team of editors working on it. We’ve both enjoyed working together to create this issue and hope that you find the pages that follow to be the richer for it.
