DESCRIPTION:Mendocino County residents who have been on the front lines trying to save 
 wetlands and scarce woodlands from Caltrans heavy equipment are calling 
 people from all over the region to come out at 12 noon on Saturday, Oct. 12 
 to “Take a Stand for the Wetlands.”\n\nThe Rally and action site is ½ 
 mile north of the town of Willits, with shuttles from Recreation Grove Park 
 in downtown Willits.\n\nProtests by area residents have been making 
 headlines for close to 9 months for what they see as a $300 million dollar 
 waste of taxpayer funds and huge blow to sensitive environments. The 
 four-lane, six-mile freeway is destroying some 90 acres of wetlands, the 
 largest wetland removal in over fifty years in northern California. It was 
 just uncovered that Caltrans is obliterating at least one Native American 
 cultural site. \nCaltrans sunk 55,000 wick drains in the wetlands to suck 
 up the water as dumped fill weighs down on the wicks. Activists will carry 
 water into the Caltrans construction zone in a post-rally action.\n\nThe 
 program features tree-sitters Amanda “Warbler” Senseman and Julia 
 Butterfly Hill, Mike Fitzgerrald, Tribal Chair from the Sherwood Valley 
 Rancheria, Barbara Kennedy from the Save Richardson Grove Coalition, stage 
 performer Sherry Glaser, comedian Swami Beyondananda, music from several 
 bands and lots more.\n
