Activists went Eco-Caroling at MAXXAM today: See story and pictures

In an effort to spread good cheer and consciousness this holiday season, SACRED went eco-caroling at MAXXAM today.

MAXXAM Corporation is responsible for the careless logging of our nation's ancient California redwood forests. SACRED wants to spread the message that America's old-growth redwood forests are in danger of extinction, and that MAXXAM implements destructive logging practices on the large track of unprotected old-growth land they own. These destructive logging practices have placed several species of fish and birds on the endangered species list and continue to threaten the livelihood of citizens in Humboldt County, California.

Five activists spent their morning gathered in the spirit of the forest to commemorate the lives already lost and to prepare for the mass destruction MAXXAM plans to implement as of January 1, 2004. Freshwater's only pristine, in-tact region is set to be demolished by spring 2004, as MAXXAM can legally clear-cut 500-600 acres in Freshwater per year.
