These photos, of before and after, show the mutilation inflicted upon the ancient Redwood, Jerry, in whose branches Remedy spend 361 days, without touching the ground, defending the tree's right to exist. Remedy was forcibly removed from Jerry by three men hired by Pacific Lumber / Maxxam. After Remedy was removed Jerry was reoccupied by the brave heroine named Mystique. After Mystique was taken down, in one of the most dangerous extractions ever witnessed, Climber Eric was not to be satisfied until he delimbed the 1200 year old tree. This dispicable act was only to demonstrate his power over the moment and PLs complete disregard for the last unprotected, ancient Redwoods. For over 1,000 years Jerry has held up this steep and unstable slope in the very degraded Freshwater watershed. The degradation is due to PL's liquidation logging practices. Unless PL reduces their rate of harvest, Freshwater is facing permanent damage.

absolutely disgusting-when are shitheads like eric shatz and charlie hurwitz gonna get what they deserve instead of victimizing the rest of the world? the sheer greed, violence and obstinacy of these people make a hyena pack seem attractive by comparison...
That's MY beautiful redwood, not property of some rich corporation, and it makes me cry to see what they have done to it.
regardless of "whose" tree it is.....its still a shame....but some people just dont care about other living beings....oh well.....maybe they will wish they cared someday.....
It is a shame to see such a beautiful tree such as Jerry to have been cut on as in the picture. Look at the bright side. It is now a piece of art done by a local chainsaw artist. It looks like someones middle finger. Do you think uncle charlie is trying to tell the people of freshwater what he thinks of them ? Or maybe he is giving us all the finger because he is winning.
This is capitalism. Who can own the earth? LET'S RISE UP AND UNITE NOW TO BREAK THIS HORRIBLE SPELL. The truth is we are ALL family and we can love oneanother without this capitalistic competitive self defeating bullshit. CREATIVE LOVING INTELLIGENT COOPERATION IS GOOD WAY TO DO IT> MAMA LOVES US ALL, WE MUST TAKE CARE OF HER!!! Balance is comming, WE WILL BE FREE!!! I LOVE YOU JERRY! WE WILL SURVIVE NATURALY.If any of you would like to help out with the efforts to bring justice to the forrest and society contact wesavetrees [at] ziplip.com PEACE
What is happening on Greenwood Heights road ? I see more big beautiful old growth Redwooda hitting the ground. Some of these had platforms in when they fell. Are people not doing their job in protecting these ancient wonders ? I have supported the local Earth First ! and have donated both time and money to "we save trees". I was active in the Mattole watershed for at least 3 years packing supplies to long ridge. Now due to a back injury I can no longer help other than a few dollars now and then. It seems all my support and hard work is not working any more. Are you people just giving up ?? Lodge-pole and Jungle put your money where you mouth is and do something. What did Anna Purna do give up and go home? Where is Shunka ? has he turned tail and ran. Did you let coronado scare you off ? come on get strong don't let Hurwitz beat you again.
