I just creted a an online petition to the Governor that asks him to take steps to protect the remaining old growth forest on Pacific Lumber property in the Mattole River watershed. About 2000 acres of old growth is left. This unique ecosystem provides habitat for endangered species. A tiny pecentage of the original old growth forest in California is left. Pacific Lumber has been known for its unsustainable logging practices since it was taken over by Texas based Maxxam Corporation. These practices have harmed water quality and downsteam residents. Steps could be taken to purchase the land or to ban old growth logging. To sign go to: www.thepetitionsite.com/takeac...3425069 or to my blog: forestdefender.blogspot.com
