Rainbow Ridge and the Redwoods

Protecting Rainbow Ridge is essential to preserve the adjacent Humboldt Redwoods State Park’s 3000 acres ancient Redwood forest. It is also to be responsible in the face of catastrophic climate change and the many rare, threatened and endangered species that live in this remote area.

Sustainable only for Sawmills

Humboldt Redwoods harvests more and more of its lands to supply the money making sawmill, but leaves the forest depleted. Yet, through aggressive public relations, they continue to achieve certification for sustainably managing their ever younger, drier forestland.

Mendocino County Herbicide

practices are condemned by fire departments in rural northern California because killing a forest and letting it stand leads to increased fire risk as the climate continues to warm and catastrophic wildfire stalks the state. Despite outlawing the use of herbicides by an overwhelming public initiative, the redwood company bullied the state to void the initiative. The residents then passed an initiative that would make the company responsible for increasing the fire risks to the county and the company simply refused to comply with the requirements of popular initiative Measure V.

Stop Poisoning Humboldt County

Citizens are up in arms over the poisoning of over 7,000 acres each year on HRC/MRC lands in northern California. When taken to task by the Lost Coast League before the FSC certifiers, the certifiers found that the residents were right and HRC/MRC had to come up with a plan to stop using poisons on their lands. But the company didn’t and submitted a paper that they intended to stop but couldn’t achieve their goals without herbicides. And the certifiers backed off!
