Great -- but expensive -- news!

Friends of Gualala River and Forest Unlimited
convinced the court to
HALT THE DOGWOOD LOGGING PLAN!

Now we need to pay the $10,000 bond for
the Preliminary Injunction. And fast!

We did it again, thanks to your support of our lawsuit challenging the largest floodplain redwood logging plan on the Gualala River! On Tuesday, September 13, Sonoma County Superior Court granted a Preliminary Injunction to petitioners Friends of Gualala River and Forest Unlimited to halt further logging of the controversial Gualala River floodplain within the “Dogwood” timber harvest plan area while litigation proceeds.

The other good news is that the Court also agreed that the other requirement for a preliminary injunction – a sufficient basis for finding a likelihood of success on the merits of the lawsuit – was met. That bodes well for the lawsuit’s ultimate success, we think. But there is much more ahead, and we have to pay the bond now, as well as our attorney.

We are working hard on this challenge, and the time and effort have paid off so far. PLEASE DONATE SO WE CAN PAY FOR THE BOND AND CONTINUE THIS LAWSUIT TO ITS CONCLUSION.

To read more about the preliminary injunction, please visit gualalariver.org. As a preview: The court agreed with Friends of Gualala River that

“Petitioners have demonstrated a clear, imminent threat of irreparable injury. Without the injunction, the logging activities under the Project will permanently remove trees and alter the environment. Petitioners’ evidence also demonstrates that the logging activities may harm ecologically sensitive, protected wetlands, flora, and fauna.”
