Don't let Cal-Trans rip a hole through the Redwood Curtain!
- Target: kim_floyd@dot.ca.gov, governor@governor.ca.org, mike.thomson@house.mo.gov, senator.wiggins@senate.ca.gov, assemblymember.chesbro@assembly.ca.gov, jrsmith@co.humboldt.ca.us, clif.clendenen@co.humboldt.ca.us, mlovelace@co.humboldt.ca.us, bonnie.neely@co.hum

The Ancient Redwoods that line Highway 101 through Richardson Grove State Park are threatened by an unwarranted realignment project. Multiple conservation groups, countless local citizens and local small businesses are joined to oppose this unnecessary and expensive project. Richardson Grove is considered the entrance through the Redwood Curtain. CalTrans proposes to cut the roots of 30 old growth trees and remove 87 other trees that surround the old growth trees, and to erect a 300 foot long retaining wall. These acts will have a huge impact on the unique ambiance of the grove and endangered wildlife. We urge you to take action now to protect these Millennial Ancient Redwoods. Visit Save Richardson Grove and blog for more information; and please sign this petition that will be sent to CalTrans, the Governor, and State and local representatives. Tell your friends and family how important these Ancient Trees are for future generations to enjoy. Only 3% remains of our Ancient Forests. We can't afford to put our State's natural beauty and local heritage in jeopardy.
We the undersigned urge you to examine the proposed highway realignment project through Richardson Grove State Park. The project proposes to cut the roots of 30 old growth trees, remove 87 other trees that surround the old growth trees, and to erect a 300 foot long retaining wall. These acts will have a huge impact on the unique ambiance of the grove and resident endangered wildlife such as the Marbled Murrelette and Northern Spotted Owl. CalTrans has failed to submit an Environmental Impact Report that addresses these issues, along with the agency's failure to allow for public comment of the Final Environmental Impact Report. We urge you as our elected officials and representatives to take action to protect the Redwood Curtain entrance in Richardson Grove State Park. There are many alternatives to this expensive, unnecessary, and destructive project. We ask that CalTrans is held accountable to the same environmental regulations that industry is beheld to. State agencies are not above State and Federal Law. We hope that you help uphold State and Federal environmental reviews for this project, and protect the Redwood Legacy of our State. We demand that our objections will be included in the public comments section of the final EIR. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thank you so much for signing the Save Richardson Grove Petition!
I have sent your petition and comments to Caltrans as well as multiple representatives and elected officials. It is our hope that this project wil be stopped, or in the least altered, in order to not have an affect on the Ancient Trees and Wildlife.
The Center for Biological Diversity has created an online petition to help stop the project!
Please take just a second to sign the CBD petition at:

and spread the good word about the effort to save the Redwood Curtain to your friends, family, and community by posting a short alert on Facebook or Myspace. Imagine how many people you can reach with this simple act!
If Caltrans chooses to continue the RIP(Richardson Grove Improvement Project), your help will be needed. Humboldt County has a rich history of non-violent civil disobedience, and Caltrans has picked the wrong place to mess with. Local activists and Native Elders have chosen to oppose this project with non-violent civil disobedience. You can bet that this may be one of the biggest and most diverse demonstrations in the history of the Redwood Region, the battle to defend the Redwood Curtain.
However, it cannot be done without your help.
