gorman wildlife corridor

Fuji GX617 panorama camera - The only wildlife corridor that connects the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the Transverse and Coastal Ranges, Gorman is an important habitat to preserve. Uniquely situated where four distinct floristic zones morph together creating a rare space where the Mojave Desert meets water. Ancient aquifers that some hydrologists suggest originate in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains are diverted by the Garlock Fault then channeled to the surface at the San Andreas Fault.
