Public invited to march for the Kern River ahead of key hearing
Members of local group Bring Back the Kern are holding a march in the dry riverbed on March 15 to show support for keeping flows in the Kern through Bakersfield before a hearing at the 5th District Court of Appeal. Fifth District justices will hear arguments about whether to uphold a preliminary injunction issued by Kern County Superior Court Gregory Pulskamp in October 2023 mandating the City of Bakersfield keep enough water in the river for fish to survive. The hearing will be held March 20 at 1:30 p.m. in Fresno.
