I live in Lake County, specifically, Cobb Mountain. My neighbors and I have recently found out about a logging project to take place on over 600 acres on Cobb Mountain. This area is in direct view of many homes and roads in Cobb Mountain. The project will eliminate all evergreens 20" and larger in diameter which will result in a loss of 90 percent of the evergreens and 45 percent of deciduous trees such as oak, dogwood, and madrone. This area has been classified as a conservation area by the County of Lake but it seems the sole authority for logging projects is the CDF (California Department of Forestry). I understand that the likelyhood of the CDF approving the loggin project, filed under the guidelines of the Timber Harvest Plan, is probably a certainty. The devistation to this pristine environment will be extensive, effecting watershed, animal and plant life. The land is privately owned and it has just been revealed that there are several other land owners who desire to log their property which will result in almost 90 percent of the Mountain threatened with being logged. Needless to say our, the residents of Cobb Mountain, concerns and fears of loosing yet another precious untouched environment in California are about to come true. I am posting in this newsgroup out of desperation and hope someone can offer some contructive direction and advice for fighting this action. I work at Sonoma State University, my telephone number is 707 664-2636, my home phone is 707 928-5128. Please assist or advise as soon as possible. The Timber Harvest Plan was filed yesterday and if approved logging will begin at the end of 30 days.
