EUREKA, Calif. —
A temporary restraining order halting clear-cut harvesting of old-growth trees on 700 acres 30 miles southeast of Eureka was issued Tuesday by Humboldt County Superior Court Judge John Buffington.
Pending a hearing next week, the Pacific Lumber Co. will halt work at two locations.
The harvest plans were challenged on environmental grounds in a legal action filed by the Environmental Protection Information Center.
