Northern California's Snow Mountain Wilderness Could Become U.S. Monument

Just north of the Bay Area, there's a stretch of more than 300,000 acres that could become California's largest national monument. It runs from Lake Berryessa in Napa County 100 miles north to the Snow Mountain Wilderness, in the Mendocino National Forest. For more than a decade, conservationists have sought special federal protection for the scenic landscapes. Their future may be in the hands of Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, who recently came to the Bay Area to hear the pros and cons. We spoke to Jewell about that, and other issues on the federal lands that make up nearly half of California.
