Membership in CPOA is open to all
residents and property owners in Monterey County's
Big Sur Planning Area (from Mal Paso Creek on the north to
the San Luis Obispo County line on the south) as well as to
friends of the Big Sur community. Please visit our membership
information to find out more about the different levels
of membership and how to become a member and supporter of
CPOA.
Your support of
CPOA is very important. We are actively represented by volunteer
members in the following areas: Monterey County's General
Plan Update, Coast Highway Management Plan, Los Padres
Forest Plan, California Coastal Commission Periodic Review,
and Education through
periodic general meetings. Please visit our programs
page to
find out more about the specific programs that we support.
Check out our volunteers information
if you want to find out how you can contribute with your knowledge
and energy.
If you are not
a resident or property owner in Big Sur, but you visit and
love this area, your support is also needed. We have learned
over the years that the majority of travelers want the visitor
experience to remain as it is. Big Sur is one of the few
places of its kind where visitors are free to discover and
explore on their own.
Yet there is constant pressure to initiate
programs that would change this. Our hope is that this web
site will enable us to organize your support and provide a
voice for Big Sur residents, friends, and property owners. |
