Even though there is a pending federal court case to stop the controversial “Community Protection Project,” and despite wet weather meaning more erosion and damage, USFS contractors are plowing ahead, disregarding “mitigations” promised in the EA, ignoring 30″ maximum width limits as seen below and generally devastating the landscape and ecology around Greenhorn that will take hundreds of years to repair.
Report from a supporter:
“Just got back from Greenhorn and the nightmare is real. High value mixed conifer, both ecologically and timber-wise. Full complement of Jeffrey pine, incense cedar, Douglas fir, and sugar pine (which used to be off limits because of being threatened by white pine blister rust). There are tens of acres of them on the ground waiting to be skidded. Will probably start operating again (11/19) (although there’s standing water in the compacted machine tracks). Unit is along well graveled road (not new or reconditioned, though) on road from outside Cromberg. We are above average for rainfall but in spaced out moderate storms.They’re not marking trees or streamside areas. Must be doing it by some kind of designation. “
This is not restoration, this is devastation.
