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.
