Tree-sits have been ongoing in Humboldt County as Pacific Lumber, owned by Charles Hurwitz and Maxxam Corp. of Houston, continues their relentless assault on the last, best unprotected old growth forests.
Faced with lawsuits charging years of unlawful behaviour, Pacific Lumber company has been furiously liquidating old growth redwoods in Grizzly Creek, Nanning Creek and old growth Douglas Fir on Rainbow Ridge in the Mattole Watershed. The Corporate bought-off/appointed government agencies in Sacramento (CDF & DFG) continues to rubber stamp timber harvest plans and "release" endangered species habitat (Type "E") for the company to destroy.
