Redwood Empire is not some faceless anonymous corporation. It is Sean Burch and his family. Redwood Empire is a locally-owned, family-operated company..

.. and they too have something to say about logging and the environment:

"Due to our continuing commitment to the environment, Redwood Empire has been certified by SmartWood under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to handle certified and non-certified wood products.

The FSC Logo identifies products which contain wood from well managed forests independently certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council A.C.
SW-COC-483 "

If you people would stop indulging in these knee-jerk panic reactions and do some research, you might stop crying wolf every other day and find a constructive outlet for your misdirected angst.

Many Native Americans cut trees to build log cabins as well; they did not dwell exclusively in the deer-hide teepees of your racist Hollywood myths.

Woody debris is actually beneficial to streams, which even the Timber Harvest Plan (if you had bothered to read it!) will tell you. It helps strengthen the river banks and bed by reducing water speed, and it CREATES pools that give salmon, frogs, and other wildlife the calmer waters they require.

You people know nothing of forest stewardship. Oily hair, a dirty face, ragged clothes, and a pop-culture hatred of white men does not grant you expertise in biological science.

Instead of pursuing your ill-informed, sensationalist, reactionary politics why don't you come down to your local California Dept of Forestry office here in Felton and ASK US about this THP and its environmental impact? We're happy to help the community understand our validation and verification process.

And you might discover that we don't spend $75k and 6 years in college for nothing.
