Forest & Watershed Watch – Protecting Biodiversity

Since 1988 we have worked to safeguard regional forest habitats and to preserve the rich diversity of our mountain environment and the pure state of its waters. Continued involvement in forest issues has resulted in halting or modifying a number of timber sales and other Forest Service projects on and around Mount Shasta. We plan to continue this protection of our local environment by participating in environmental review processes and monitoring for new proposals. Staff will review new agency analyses and plans and provide input where needed, as well as monitor the Forest Service Schedule of Proposed Actions and other notices of new projects, in order to evaluate impacts and provide comments early in environmental review processes.
