The Forest Service has released an Environmental Assessment proposing large-scale commercial logging and mechanical treatment across 12,805 acres of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Northern Trinity County. The project runs along the Highway 3 corridor between Trinity Lake and the Trinity Alps Wilderness, a low-elevation forest that is some of the most wildlife-rich public land in Northern California. Public comments are due Friday, June 5.

On over 10,000 acres of the Mendocino National Forest, there are roughly 2,000 known invasive plant infestations. Species like Scotch broom, Himalayan blackberry, and cheatgrass threaten native ecosystems, increase wildfire risk, and harm water quality. In the draft Invasive Plant Treatment Project Environmental Assessment, the agency proposes three alternatives: the Proposed Action, which includes multiple herbicides; Alternative 2, no herbicides; and Alternative 3, No Actio

The Trinity Divide/Lakehead Fuel Break Project proposes to remove up to 60–70% of the forest canopy from nearly 2,000 acres within a 2,538-acre project area in Northern California without a full environmental review. This area is a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot and a primary wildlife corridor surrounded by heavily logged private timberlands.

The U.S. Forest Service is rushing salvage logging into one of northern California's most biologically rare watersheds, under a legal shortcut that bypasses environmental review.

The sweeping restructuring of the United States Forest Service represents one of the most dramatic reorganizations of a federal land management agency in the nation's history, placing 193 million acres of public land at risk.

EPIC and the Save Richardson Grove Coalition recently lost at the California Court of Appeals. This stings.
