This forest provides important wildlife habitat, carbon-sequestering conifer trees and clean water. Clear-cutting these trees is likely to harm the park and South Fork Eel River below. If CalFIRE approves the Railcar THP, eight units of prime forestlands will be cut, creating another tear in the fraying redwood curtain.
After two decades of logging ancient redwoods and shipping the profits to Texas, the owners of Pacific Lumber are now trying to cut as much ancient forest as possible before they lose control of the company. In the last hours of their bankruptcy, PL has submitted six THP's that include logging Late Seral Forest. In the legacy of Judi Bari, David Gypsy Chain, Joan Norman and countless others who have dedicated their lives to protect these threatened forests, we must act now!
