Over two hundred people rallied 50 yards from old growth Redwood trees that Remedy and Wren are living in. They are determined to save these trees in this devastated Freshwater watershed. Remedy has been living in a tree for six months and Wren for four months. They now have company with eight other treesits now active in the Freshwater watershed.

People traveling to the rally were greeted by a huge banner strung between trees that Remedy and Wren are protecting. To the right of the banner can be seen Remedy’s platform and a climber stretching the banner tight. During Governor Davis’ last campaign, he promised to ban cutting of all old growth trees.

I applaud the courage of all those involved with preserving the old growth forests in California. I really hope Governor Davis helps to protect them, rather than be a liar so the old growth forests can truly be safe.
