Santa Cruz County passed a permanent ban on oil and gas exploration and development in the county’s unincorporated land in 2014. As more tools become available to local municipalities to protect their communities and the climate from fossil fuels, we hope Santa Cruz County will investigate and pass additional SAFE policies.
