Let’s hear it for ALL of the HUNDREDS of unsung heros and heroines that were crucial to the successes of Nanning Creek and Fern Gully over the past 3 to 6 years.

Most importantly, let’s remember the Legacy of Humboldt’s Forest Defenders over the past two decades, and pay our respects to those who have given their lives for our trees, such as Jungle and Gypsy.

Everyone knew the Nanning and Fern Gully THP’s would eventally time out and expire. That was the minor goal.

The major goal was to permenantly protect these areas, aside of course from token verbal promises from a salesman representing a greenwashed corporation that is still clearcutting on steep slopes and using herbicides.

How is that a victory?

And what kind of COMPROMISE is that for an EarthFirster!?

Nothing has been set in stone as far as permenant protections for these two groves. If HRC was serious about saving the last large stands of Old Growth left on Old PL property, they would take permenant steps to protect the future of these groves. Those who are concerned about the future of these two groves would demand permenant protection from this "feel good" greenwashed company's ploy.

And you all bought it, just like a lemon used car that breaks down later down the road.

MRC came to Humboldt to make money. When the importance of profit shifts from their current focus on public relations, they will change their greenwashed tune.

Don't get me wrong, the glass is half full and we should all be proud of this victory. But HRC and MRC are not what they appear to be. Profits are their focus, not trees.
See you for the 5-7 year THP renewal reunion.

To top it all off, I read in another article that Mike Jani has been carrying around a piece of Gypsy's clothing for years since he learned of his death. Doesn't anyone else find that statement creepy? Why would Jani say that, aside from a shameful public relations stunt?
