Just Got Back from Action Camp

Action Camp at Grizzly Creek State Park was great! There were the usual non-violence, climbing, and backwoods trainings. There was a hike up Gypsy Mountain, which always brings back lots of memories. But the best thing was coming up with a new strategy for forest defense in Humboldt.

Shunka on Cover of North Coast Journal

Forest defender Shunka Wakan is on the cover of this week's North Coast Journal. The article focuses on the Kathryn Miller vs. Trees Foundation trial in Eureka. It talks about the internal conflicts and problems in the Humboldt forest defense movement. I often worry that these problems, that have been going on for many years, will discourage people from getting involved, resulting in the loss of forest to corporate greed. If there is a community of people in Northern California who care about saving what is left of the ancient forests, maybe they will see that they need to get involved and work to make sure that there is a strong, united and well organized forest defense effort.
