Dear Ann,

Rare pygmy forests in Mendocino are at risk of becoming trashed with a waste transfer facility, and we need your help to send a message to decision-makers that we value our rare ecosystems.

Take Action:<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PA9j8e0TE4GMBO8EmgdcW62qSn%2FYlQhl> Would you trade rare state park forestland for a defunct waste transfer station? Neither would we. Yet, that's what the County of Mendocino and the City of Fort Bragg are poised to do. In a complicated three-way land swap proposal, 12.6 acres of rare Russian Gulch State Parks forestland would be transferred to Jackson Demonstration State Forest, which would then transfer 17 acres of its property to the city and county for development of the Mendocino Central Coast Waste Transfer Station. State Parks would then have the option of acquiring 60 acres of county and city property, formerly the site of the Caspar Landfill and waste transfer station. <http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1SOcm08m65xxFSeGFXmalq2qSn%2FYlQhl>

Click here to take action and tell Mendocino Board of Supervisors and the Fort Bragg City Council that you value rare pygmy forests, and they should remain protected, not converted into a waste station.<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PxuwJoRqNzboWXmQMi2qGK2qSn%2FYlQhl>

Last month's storms in the North Coast resulted in hundreds of lightning strikes igniting forest fires across the region and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Now a combined total of approximately 102,755 acres are burning on the Shasta-Trinity and Six Rivers National Forests. Thousands of fire fighters are on the ground, some in an effort to protect life and property and others are in the wilderness and backcountry. Fire suppression and the military style of firefighting can be more environmentally destructive than wildfire itself.

The work to protect the last remaining Pacific fishers has taken a half-step forward and a half-step back.  The Pacific fisher-a small and rare carnivore that depends on old forests in California-is in dire need of protection. Fishers have been extirpated from the majority of the West Coast; California's forests represent their last remaining significant populations. To recover the species across their historic range, we need to first protect the last remaining California fishers.  Click here to read about the decision the California Fish and Game Commission made last Wednesday regarding the fisher.<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=G5sXvyrdnZqZM4wqt7Qv4a2qSn%2FYlQhl>
