The U.S. Forest Service is proposing roughly 1,200 acres of commercial logging along 40 miles of the South Fork Mountain ridge under the banner of "fire safety," while also constructing 141 new log-landing clearings and opening nearly 15 miles of “temporary” roads across some of the most landslide-prone slopes in California.

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.
