PL/Maxxam began logging the Hole in Headwaters on Oct 23. If the logging continues, the South Fork of the Elk River which borders the THP will be severely impacted as one of the last spawning streams in Northern California for Coho salmon. The logging will also fragment the continuous mature forest of the Headwaters Preserve and the surrounding forest. Nine activists were arrested on Oct 24 while engaged in non-violent protests of the destructive logging. PL has filed a new SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public participation) suit against those protesting logging of the Hole in Headwaters.
