Saving Old Trees By Regulating Logging On Private Land

13 September 2001 - 1:00pm

Old-growth trees on private land in California are vulnerable to logging. Will a 2002 ballot measure regulate logging on private land?

"A 2002 ballot initiative would ban the logging of all old-growth trees on private land in California, protecting any tree that was alive when the state entered the Union in 1850. But in a taped announcement on Sunday, the governor endorsed a less sweeping plan, which would require a permit before ancient trees are felled."

It's all too easy for projects to claim that they will be successful places, and all too hard to tell ahead of time which ones actually will.
