Central Coast Forest Watch

Central Coast Forest Watch (CCFW) is pleased to announce it has received grants from the Cereus Fund of the Trees Foundation and the Rose Foundation's Northern California Environmental Grassroots Fund. Some of those monies will be used to develop a citizens' handbook for timber harvest review. In the meantime, we continue to watchdog several problematic timber harvest plans in the Santa Cruz Mountains. One such plan proposes harvesting on sixteen existing slides, many with their toes in the creek. Another plan is to replace a misaligned failing culvert with a bridge, even though the bridge will not actually be used for the harvest. Bridge design has also been lacking and the forester has resisted producing adequate plans to satisfy the various review team agencies. CCFW continues to partner with Sierra Club in preparing and emailing a monthly Forest Update to interested parties. Those who would like to receive the updates may contact CCFW at: JodiFredi@aol.com.
