In Mendocino County, an Indigenous tribe added its voice to a long war over logging in a state forest — and could sign a historic agreement to co-manage the land.
But there’s an issue. The tribe and state don't agree on the forest's future. My latest: https://t.co/QAlm5AnT8t
For 70 years, a Mendocino forest has been used to promote logging. Is it time to change its mission? @MaryCallahanB investigates:

Should California be logging 100-year-old redwoods any more?
And
Is a state forest set aside 70 years ago for timber experimentation better suited now purely for carbon capture & wildlife habitat?

Fantastic news from @savetheredwoods and the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council! The return of Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ or “Fish Run Place” is an important step to righting the wrongs of the past. #LandBack#redwood#mendocino

Infill development can relieve pressure to develop our forestlands. Better zoning is one tool we can use to preserve what makes Humboldt special.

Forest fires release less than 10% of the carbon stored in the forest during a big fire. When people log forests to make wood products about 70% of the carbon is released into the atmosphere. https://t.co/7LLHamNJhZ https://t.co/7LLHamNJhZ
The best way to reduce fire risk in forest communities is to thin out smaller material near homes followed by controled burning. https://t.co/x1PT91z7lm https://t.co/x1PT91z7lm

When forests are logged and replaced with tree plantations, the result is hotter, more intense fires, leaving communities more volunerable. https://t.co/cy6XBeLk3R https://t.co/cy6XBeLk3R
