WHY WE MUST DO THIS NOW-<br>
On Veteren's day, Maxxam/Pacific Lumber (PL) started logging in the
Nanning Creek Grove in Humboldt County, and have now moved into the
ANCIENT REDWOOD GROVE that includes trees OVER 15 FEET IN DIAMETER and up
to 2000 years old.<br><br>
Earth First! and Humboldt Forest Defense activists have erected tree-sits
in the branches of some of the massive trees, and have held vigils at the
logging road gate outside Scotia, including a lock-down action last
Monday when four people were arrested.<br><br>
JOIN THE GROWING RESISTANCE TO THE DESTRUCTION OF PRECIOUS OLD GROWTH
FOREST HABITAT!<br><br>
Nanning Creek Grove is east of the company town of Scotia and comprises
the largest chunk of in-tact unprotected habitat for the federally listed
Marbled Murrelet in California.<br><br>
Logging in this rare habitat, which should be protected under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) is allowed under provisions of the 1999
Headwaters Deal, negotiated by Senator Feinstein and other government
officials and the infamous corporate raider Charles Hurwitz, CEO of
Maxxam Corp.<br><br>
The murrelet is listed as threatened under the ESA and as endangered
under the California ESA. Permission granted by US Fish and Wildlife
Service for ScoPac to log this critical habitat flies in the face of a
2004 report commissioned by that same agency that stated that current
logging practices in Northern California threaten the small seabird with
an 80% probability of extinction in the next 55 years, and a 100%
probability of extinction in the next 95 years. The 250-acre plan was
cynically named named "Bonanza" by PL.<br><br>
