Logging the Rim Fire Burn
This is what's happening now in the Stanislaus Forest. Trees superficially burned by last year's Rim Fire are being clear-cut while the very unique and special habitat created by a burn is being ripped apart by heavy equipment and drag lines.
Earth Island, The Center for Biological Diversity and California
Chaparral Institute have filed an injunction against the courts decision to log the Rim Fire Burn area.
Although I've been involved in the effort to stop the logging I hadn't yet seen the damage myself and it was heartbreaking.
This photo was taken on Evergreen Road which leads to Camp Mather and Hetch Hetchy. Although the land here may be privately owned, from Highway 120 the same sight was common throughout the burn area in the national forest ..
