CONSERVATIONISTS SUE CALTRANS TO PROTECT REDWOOD TREES
Caltrans Releases Final Environmental Review for Highway Project That
Will Degrade Ancient Humboldt County Redwood Grove
Conservation Groups Vow Legal
Challenge, Seek 100,000 Letters of Opposition
GARBERVILLE, Calif.— The
California Department of Transportation has released the final Environmental
Impact Report for a controversial highway-widening project that threatens to
degrade the ancient redwood grove at Richardson Grove State Park and could
change the rural character of Humboldt County. The Environmental Protection
Information Center and the Center for Biological Diversity have vowed an all-out legal challenge of the project, and are seeking to have state and federal
legislators pressure Caltrans to rescind the project.

Thank you to the Center for Biological Diversity, to EPIC, to CaltransWatch, and all the organizations and individuals that made this possible.
Turns out Caltrans has half a billion dollars in committment to salaries for current employees -- and no particular projects for them. Hence the predatory search for projects it seems.
