Friends of Jesse Morrow Mountains purpose is to prevent mining on Jesse Morrow and protect Jesse Morrow Mountains cultural, historical, biological, water and visual significance as a gateway to the National Parks and Monuments. On a clear day, many view it from afar such as the freeway section of Highway 180 heading East without realizing how strip mining might change the view...
In just one year the Fresno County Board of Supervisors has approved expansion of one mine and approval of another.
The purpose of Friends of Jesse Morrow Mountain, Inc. is to prevent mining on Jesse Morrow Mountain. We are dedicated to protecting the cultural, historical, biological, water and visual significance of this gateway to the National Parks and Monuments.
We are a 501 c3 non-profit corporation made up of concerned citizens, farmers, ranchers, landowners, retailers, conservationists, environmentalists, Native Americans and many others. The opposition to the mining of the mountain is broad based.
Majestic Jesse Morrow Mountain can be found east of Fresno along Highway 180 on the way to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. For those familiar with the area, it is near the Old Sherwood Inn, the old cobblestone fireplace and the historic town of Minkler.
