Northern Spotted Owl Inside Green Diamond Clear-cut Area

Posted by on August 27, 2008

Tree-sitters sitting in “Millenia” documented this very animated Northern Spotted Own while in an old-growth tree that resides directly inside a grove marked for clear-cut in February 2009 — the McKay Tract in Eureka, CA. Though the tree the owl was located in was a “wildlife tree” (marked not to be cut), then entire grove is planned to be cleared, greatly diminishing the owl’s already limited habitat. Under the government authorization of an “Incidental Take Permit,” Green Diamond (nice oxymoron, eh?) has the power to kill Endangered Spotted Owls, so they can make more green, green, green, money, money, money!!
