Earth First! Action Camp
by Earth First! Humboldt ( contact [at] efhumboldt.org )
Thursday Jul 31st, 2008 5:49 PM
All are invited to our Action Camp this September. We will be taking a stand in the defense of our temperate rainforests and all the life they support, including our own. As with most of the worlds rain-forests, logging companies are rapidly clear-cutting and burning large areas here in the name of the dollar. With less than 2% of our original ancient forests already gone this cannot be allowed to continue. We are offering non-violent direct action training, tree-climbing training and backwoods action training to name a few. We invite anyone to share skills and schedule workshops, please let us know as we are working on a schedule outline. Though Pacific Lumber is in transition and the new owners say they won’t cut Old-Growth we are waiting to see for ourselves. The two other major logging companies in our area are threatening to log giant residual Old-Growth trees as well as planning massive clear-cuts in our forests. We will be taking direct action against this attack on our planet. Expect a more thorough announcement soon detailing events and schedules.
