The ancient redwoods, wildlife, and happy campers need your help before 5 PM on Monday, 2 June.
Even in bankruptcy, Pacific Lumber Company is still threatening to log in places that are important for wildlife and fish. The Root 09 Timber Harvest Plan proposes to log directly adjacent to Grizzly Creek State Park in Humboldt County, California. Read the sample comment letter for more information, or send me a response. Thanks for reading this.

Re: Root 09 THP 1-07-204 Hum

I strongly oppose even-aged silviculture adjacent to Grizzly Creek State Park, as well as the destruction of ‘C’ marbled murrelet stands under this THP in Root Creek. Please do not approve THP 1-07-204 Hum based on the following reasons:

1. This THP proposes to log adjacent to Grizzly Creek State Park, one of the North Coast of California’s gems of biodiversity. Unit 2 is less than a mile from the Visitor’s Center and campground.
2. Helicopter yarding in the vicinity of the State Park Campground will destroy this forest sanctuary for visitors to the redwoods
3. There are ten Northern spotted owl activity centers in less than 1.3 miles from proposed logging
4. The THP proposes the logging of unknown acres of Class ‘C’ marbled murrelet habitat. There is no letter releasing marbled murrelet habitat for logging from FWS for this THP.
5. In Section II, the THP states there is no late sucessional or late seral habitat, yet the maps at the back of the same section show marbled murrelet habitat in Unit 6.
6. Root Creek is an anadromous fish bearing stream.
7. The THP units are underlain by many active slides, at least one of which is above a residence on the Van Duzen.
8. Roadpoint 6000- Voids in the 40 feet of fill between road grade and old creek bed may swallow up straying park visitors according to CGS, yet this crossing will not be repaired.
9. This THP is incomplete, incorrect, materially misleading and does not have enough information to determine significant adverse impacts.
