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

On March 23rd, legislation sponsored by EPIC and authored by Asm. Chris Rogers passed out of its first legislative committee, the Assembly Natural Resources Committee.

The Board of Forestry is pushing forward a controversial proposed rule-making under the guise of wildfire risk reduction, which would allow logging and use of heavy equipment—including tractors and dozers—in Watercourse and Lake Protection Zones (WLPZ). This rule-making is a dangerous attempt at deregulation that isn’t backed up by science.

Happy New Year from EPIC!
