The State - News from Dec. 21, 1988
A judge has blocked Pacific Lumber Co. from disturbing a 230-acre Humboldt County stand of virgin redwoods and Douglas fir, despite state approval of the company’s logging plans. Eureka Superior Court Judge William Ferrogiaro ruled that there was ample evidence that harvesting at the site 20 miles southeast of Eureka would harm wildlife and the watershed. Ferrogiaro granted a court injunction preventing logging or road-building in the area at least until a suit brought by the Sierra Club and the Environmental Protection Information Center goes to trial. No date has been set for the proceeding.
