It's been decades since EPIC first entered the courtroom to challenge the degradation of public trust resources and the government's complacency to violations of environmental laws. Since that time we have filed more than 70 lawsuits on behalf of the native species and wildlands of the North Coast. Although our work is focused on the redwood and Douglas fir ecosystems of northern California, many of our cases have set legal precedents to help restore and protect imperiled areas throughout the region, state and nation. EPIC's legal actions today employ a number of different strategies and are focused on three primary program areas: industrial logging on private and state land, National Forest conservation, and actions to defend Humboldt Bay.
