Stretch of Big River is saved

More than 7,300 acres, including the 8.3-mile Mendocino estuary, are acquired for a state park.

For 150 years, the swath of redwoods and watershed along the Big River in Mendocino County has been the private preserve of timber companies and the secret playground of trespassers lured by its scenic beauty.

Who will pay to keep the land from being over run by intoduced pest species? The article clearly states they don't have the money to do what is necessary.

The problem with conservancies!

The solution.

Within 10 years we will be watching this on TV as it burns to a crisp and sterilizes the ground with its heat.

Oh, the government's in charge of it now.

That always works out great.

Look what they've done for education.

Stretch of Big River is saved

Just in the nick of time! Those evil timber companies that have been trying to destroy the land for 150 years (on purpose I bet) and the greedy private citizens, ignorant native tribes, blood thirsty dinosaurs and other land rapists who before that tried for countless millenia to destroy the land have been thwarted! Thank you benevolent and kind government for taking our tax dollars for this noble purpose. Good grief.

Yeah, but this is the state of Kalifornia in charge instead of the evil feds.

The same state that has Fascist Gray Davis in charge, and the maggot Burton in charge of the assembly.

The same state operatives, who have bankrupted the state.

Don't you know that the simple answer is to let the State Goverments like Kali, Oregone, and the ChiCom Peoples Republic of Washington be in charge.

We can all rest now that the state of Kali run by the maggot pair Davis and Burton are in control of this land now.

{Sarcasm off!}

It will burn up 3 to 5 years.

How sad :(. *sigh*. I hate it when trees burn because of eco wacko stupidity. Such a darned waste!

[Grampa Dave]

Actually as everything unfolds, these fires are not due to Whacko Stupidity, they are a planned event.

First they take over an area or get ESA critters in a National Forest. Then they destroy or stop rebuilding the fire roads. Next there is no logging. Of course in this land, being a state park there is no logging automatically.
So no logging of even dead trees is allowed from now. The trees there will rot or burn up.

Eventually the place becomes a tinder box waiting for lightening or arson. Then it burns up, and those living around the fire might lose their homes, farms, ranches or businesses. Next the insurance companies cancel the homeowners's policies. So the ultimate rural cleansing tool, fire, does rural cleansing during and after a wild fire.

Then, the conservancies come in and buy the property cheap.

Now, the big lumber companies with their own tree farms who contibute to these Greens have more demand on their lumber products when these lands are removed from the supply side. If a fire burns the trees, they will never go to market.

When more rural cleansing occurs, both the greens and these big lumber companies win.

So the elite tacticians of the Greens are not stupid. Only their rank and file sheeple are the stupid ones.

The latest thread on the fires in Oregon which have 17,000 innocent Oregonians at peril by being potentially in harm's way. (Latest link to Fires in SW Oregon)

You are so right! I'd never done the whole start to finish analysis, only thought of the 'cutting trees is evil' angle. The greens *are* evil!

Do you think anyone will thank the Hawthorne Timber Co. for it's fine job of stewardship and land managment in this area for the last 150 years? Me neither.

BUMP!!!!

[Amerigomag]

Spearheading the preservation effort was the Mendocino Land Trust

Spearheading my ....

Examine the article and realize that the state of California purchased the property with the a little financial help from a few wealthy greens. The average individual donation was over $3500.

My guess is that there would be a strong correlation between the donors list and Gray Davis' campaign contribution list.

The article implies a grass roots effort to "save" the wilderness when it is much more likely that a few fat greens bribed Davis to purchase the property while the state is running a $24B deficit and can't fund the most basic programs.

Bet me.

They would under the solution linked above. It won't even get thought about by others otherwise.

Not a chance in ......

That and to bail them out, I bet a million in less than 3 years the National Park Service will end up owning it! I know, I live along the New River! Folks along the Old River in California are hearing all the same bs as this with the Big River! Park, Park, how many Parks do we really need??????????? It is not about Parks, it is all about land control and thus controlling the people! Period!
