KZYX Public Affairs | Pomo Perspective: Priscilla Hunter and Polly Girvin on Jackson State Logging Plans

April 19, 2021--Pomo Perspective features Priscilla Hunter, Pomo Elder and former Chairwoman of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, and Polly Girvin, Environmental activist and Indigenous Rights Attorney. The Coyote Valley Band of Pomo has recently requested Government to Government Consultation with the State of California to discuss their opposition to the timber operations proposed in their ancestral Northern Pomo and Coast Yuki territory which is now Jackson Demonstration State Forest. There are at least 22 cultural sites in the State Forest that have been identified, many of which have been destroyed by road building and other industrial activity. Currently 500 acres of mature second growth redwood are approved for logging by Cal Fire (the California Department of Forestry).
