Headwaters Forest needs your help!
Headwaters Forest is one of the last major stands of unprotected
old-growth redwoods in the world. Located in northwest California near the Pacific coast in
Humboldt County, Headwaters has been the focus of environmental activists
for a decade since it was discovered to be important habitat
for several listed endangered species, including the Marbled Murrelet, Coho Salmon, and Spotted
Owl. It is one of the most amazing forests left on Earth, with trees that have
lived for thousand of years. These trees influence the weather patterns by transpiring
water into the air and creating fog that in turn influences the amount of fair weather in other parts
of the country. Yet Headwaters is still being logged at an unprecedented rate, causing irreversible
damage to this complex ecosystem. Your immediate action is needed to save this amazing place.
