Seven to Be Tried Over Logging Protest
From Times Wire Services
Seven logging protesters will face trial in Humboldt County on trespassing charges after some of them last week locked themselves to a 55-gallon drum full of concrete, blocking a road in Carlotta and holding up logging trucks.
The trials are set for Dec. 6. On that day, the Environmental Protection Information Center will ask the court for a preliminary injunction against six logging plans in the Van Duzen and Bear Creek watersheds that seek to cut young trees and some areas of old-growth forests.
