McKay Tract Community Hikes Continue — Join Us

Posted by on November 24, 2008

Logging in McKay Tract — THP 1-08-102 HUM — is approaching rapidly. With February 15, 2009 being the date that Green Diamond can begin clear cutting, time is definitely of the essence.

Over the past 2 weeks, Mind Petals has been organizing community hikes throughout the McKay Tract in a effort to galvanize people of Humboldt County — and the world ! — to prevent this deathblow on Nature. Our hikes will continue (sign up for our newsletter to be notified) and organizing around this issue will carry on indefinitely.

Greed Diamond’s unfettered disregard for life and insatiable desire to increase their bottom-line at the expense of animal habitat, old growth forests, and a place for the community to hike recreationally is absolutely sickening. Who in their right mind can inflict such damage on the land and live with themselves? Such is the modality of Green Diamond — a company not even close to being “Green.”

Here are a few shots from our Nov 11th and 22nd community hikes

Please join us in our movement to preserve life and put an end to the destruction.
Our hikes are not only fun, but educational. We hope to see you soon.

Community Organizes to Save McKay Tract

A few days ago I spoke on KMUD radio to spread awareness and muster support in the defense of the McKay Tract currently threatened by Green Diamond and others. Tomorrow, Nov. 11, community members and activists will be gathering to go on a hike — to see what’s at stake. We’ll be meeting at 1PM. Call 631 445 2185 for meeting location.
