Today local residents of the Cutten area spotted Green Diamond employees and sheriffs congregating at a local supermarket in town. Within hours they were seen in the forest at the location of the tree-sits.

It’s time to take a stand to protect these trees. Green Diamond has made their move, now make yours! This forest is too precious to be lost. (as of yet, no logging has been observed).

Send gear, your presence in the forest, and funds to the McKay Tract Coalition and/or EF! Humboldt immediately.

This image was recently taken in the McKay Tract in the vicinity of occupied trees, under the protection of brave and passionate tree-sitters. The owls don’t want to see this forest clear-cut and we don’t as well. Please support the tree-sitters and continue to organize within your community to preserve this ancient forest.

Here’s a recap of the meeting:
