Save Palomar Mountain Task Force (SPMTF) is an external committee of Palomar Mountain Planning Organization, a non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable association, established in the early 1980s to help develop planning goals and proposals for the Palomar Mountain Community.
The Save Palomar Mountain Task Force has been established
to address the threat to Palomar represented by the potential installation of a 500,000-volt transmission on Palomar Mountain.
To showcase the Mountain's significance to all (ecological, recreational, astronomical, and more...), we are calling for and collecting testimonials You can read the testimonials received so far and add yours here.
The transmission line would disrupt the ecosystem, endanger the public, and increase wildfire risk. We are collecting documentation and data to reflect these various impacts.
Thanks to the support of our community, we have been able to make a significant impact over the years. Learn more about our accomplishments and the positive change we have brought about.
Some organizations are not forthcoming with information such as the routes for the transmission line so we are engaging experts to assist in getting this information disclosed and be ready to respond when the time comes
Ted is the newmascot of Save Palomar Mountain. He comes with years of experiences travelling the world and decided to settle for a little while on Palomar Mountain as a volunteer to assist the task force in ensuring that no high voltage transmission line would go on the mountain.
What attracted him to Palomar is that it is so close to cities and yet so wild and naturally preserved. There are so many old-growth trees and wildlife to observe.
Ted has many talents including being friendly and very social. He has a great sense of discovery and essential to his role as social media spokesperson, he is really photogenic. If you would like to go on a hike or discover the mountain with Ted Beary, do not hesitate to contact us.
Tell us why you believe Palomar Mountain, with its very unique old-growth forest and the beauty of the Four Seasons, should be preserved for future generations.
