Clearcutting isn’t the answer.
Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI), the single largest landowner in California with 1.7 million acres, is planning to clearcut or near clearcut and convert approximately 1.2 million acres from natural forests into tree plantations. Clearcutting and forest conversion is underway. In Calaveras County alone, SPI owns approximately 48% of the forested property above the 3,500-foot elevation. SPI has filed documents showing it intends to clearcut two-thirds of this forest.
