Well said, jostle. In light of the judges decision in favor of MRC the company deserves continuing scrutiny. Thanks for mentioning David “Gypsy” Chain. Corporate media is so damn shallow most of the time.

One thing that betrays a certain ruthlessness is MRC’s refusal to sell a conservation easement that would greatly benefit them in the short term but would rule out development or other messed up practices in the event that MRC is bought out and/or their owners decide to liquidate.

Here’s what I don’t get – except that you must be new. Those are tiny little postage stamps of a cut – they are the new clearcuts. In the old days when it was a real problem and before the companies reformed and began acting more as stewards of the land – back then THOSE ENTIRE HILLSIDES WOULD HAVE BEEN STRIPPED.

That’s what a real clearcut would look like. What you are showing is nothing. It is the IMPROVEMENT, not the problem.

If you can’t give them credit for the reform, you can’t expect the companies to survive, nor can you expect any companies in any industry to have any incentive to improve their practices.

I posted a link this morning about the Trinity River but it seems to have disappeared. Was it a glitch or deliberate?

Thank you Jostle for what you have written, this late entry into the scene by Emmerson & Co. is really worrisome. Anyone who has wandered around Trinity County and the northern Sierra and seen SPI’s damage to those watersheds will be as alarmed as I am … in fact, there are those who believe SPI may be worse, if that is possible.

I could write a book about the things people in Trinity Co have told me about the company, and are afraid to go public with.

As far as i can tell the only difference between SPI and Palco is the shareholders. SPI is strictly family owned, and now that the sons have taken over, things are changing for the worse. From everything I see and hear it appears they are hot to liquidate trees and get into the real estate development business.

This IS A BIG PROBLEM.

Thanks for your report.

What a load of carefully crafted crap to pay attention to down there in Corpus Christi. Last minute deals have a history of royally screwing Humboldt County for the staggering benefit of crooks in suits.
