Tejon Ranch: An article in Monday’s California section about a project in the Tehachapi Mountains incorrectly characterized the views of some environmentalists who helped broker an agreement with the Tejon Ranch Co. to save 240,000 acres from development. The article said that raptor specialist Pete Bloom, who works for the company as its lead condor consultant, and leaders of a coalition of environmental groups hoped the agreement would speed up the permitting process for development on part of the property. Although Bloom said he feels that way, the coalition leaders have neither expressed hope for nor indicated an interest in expediting permits for development on the ranch.
