Nanning creek, California

Thankfulness to the moving forward progressive protective old growth policy from Humboldt Redwood Company in Scotia, California. The policy is holding true to many old growth trees living happy and healthy intact fully with many true ecosystems complex and intricate that they live enter woven within each other.  Spooner, the 2000 year old grandfather tree of the grove is happy celebrating its ten year anniversary of protection from the now decade owning but more like humble caretakers the Fisher family. Thank you so much to the Fishers. This decade is the true proof that an old growth policy can really implement protection. Thank you so much Dorris Fisher.  You are cheered by the great and small of all life living in Spooner’s grove today. This is your most fashionable and unforgettable green belt. 

Marble murrelet

A Pacific seabird, the Marbled Murrelet is unique among alcids (puffin relatives) in nesting high up in large trees in coastal forests. Little-known until the past few decades, it now is thought to be seriously threatened by logging.  The Marbled Murrelet typically nests in trees 200 years and older.

Northern spotted owl

The northern spotted owl is one of three subspecies of spotted owl. Like all spotted owls, the northern spotted owl lives in old-growth forests.  As a result of declining habitat, there are fewer than 100 pairs of Northern spotted owls in British Columbia, Canada, 1,200 pairs in Oregon, 560 pairs in northern California and 500 pairs in the state of Washington.
