January 19, 2022 \u2014 \u201cNo additional timber sales will be offered in Jackson this year,\u201d according to the Board of Forestry Director\u2019s report for this month\u2019s board meeting. A brief item in the written report notes delays in last year\u2019s operations and interruptions by protestors.\nLogging in the Caspar 500 Timber Harvest Plan, which was heavily populated by protestors, has been on hold since June. Protests in Jackson Demonstration State Forest have been effective at shutting down logging, halting timber sales, and now, getting protestors arrested. \nOn January 10, half a dozen activists became the first to be cited since protests began in Jackson, starting with a citizens\u2019 arrest directed by the head of a private security firm. The arrests did not include physical contact, though a logger performing them was filmed asking a female protestor about her recent sexual activity. \nAn environmental law firm that has been critical of logging practices in Jackson sent out a letter on January 18, demanding that CalFire \u201creassert control and firmly prohibit private security officers in JDSF.\u201d \nJohn Andersen of Mendocino Redwood Company confirmed to kzyx in October that the company had hired Lear as a safety contractor. Private security has been expressly forbidden by Bruce Crane, CalFire\u2019s chief legal counsel. In a letter last summer, he told a local logging company that the agency cannot cede law enforcement authority to private security companies or other law enforcement entities. \nWe\u2019ll hear from one of the activists who was cited, a staff lawyer with EPIC, the Environmental Protection and Information Center, and a longtime neighbor to JDSF, describing the area where protestors were arrested, his view of the timber harvest plan, and a photograph he took of Sara Constance Rose, co-founder of the Mendocino County Youth Climate Group, standing in front of a redwood log deck in Red Tail recently.
