LOGGING PLAN STATUS REPORT
1-20-00084-SON “Silver Estates”
Approval of the Silver Estate logging plan adjacent to the Russian River and near the town of Guerneville and home to the tallest redwood in Sonoma County has been halted. The Guerneville Forest Coalition filed suit against Cal Fire for abuse of discretion. Rather than face a lawsuit the property owner decided to sell the parcels to Save the Redwood League. They transfered the property to the Sonoma County Agricultural and Open Space District which placed a conservation easement on the property then transferred it to the County Parks. The Guerneville Forestry Coalition is submitting comments and suggestions to the development of the County Management Plan for the newly named Russian River Redwoods. Learn more about this plan here
Note: Calfire Website
Early in 2015 Calfire improved their website. Old links to Timber Harvest Plans (THPs) and Non-Industrial Timber Management Plans (NTMPs) may no longer work. The Calfire website can be hard to navigate so the best source for current links to California logging plans is via this website. Public interest and participation in the review process by offering comments is always the best way everyone can protect our California forests. For more information view Logging Plan Resources.
