Stanislaus National Forest Post-Fire
Post fire salvage logging next to low intensity burn area in California's Stanislaus National Forest on Road 1S03, two miles west of Evergreen Road. Minimal regrowth despite US Forest Service plantings. The Rim Fire burned over 257,000 acres during the 2013 California wildfire season. To date it is the largest wildfire on record in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Using Housing and Urban Development (US HUD) disaster relief funds, the US Government is posed to log this naturally regenerating forest and burn the trees for biomass electricity generation, in what local experts are calling a "Clearcut-for-Kilowatts" project. This proposal will not only destroy important wildlife habitat, it will emit more carbon dioxide than coal (per unit of energy produced), release air pollution, and will deprive at risk communities of funds needed to make their neighborhoods fire-ready. Furthermore, logging this area will not make California safer from wildfires.
