STOP THE ENCROACHMENT OF REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK! BUMPER STICKER

SAVE THE NATIONAL PARKS! This park and the co-managed state parks protect almost half of all remaining coastal redwoods, the tallest trees on earth. There are three large river systems in this very seismically active area, and 37 miles (60 km) of protected coastline reveal tide pools and seastacks. The prairie, estuary, coast, river, and forest ecosystems contain a huge variety of animal and plant species. Redwood National Park was established to protect magnificent Redwood Forests and is obligated by law to regulate use of the parks in such a manner as to leave them in an unimpaired condition. A proposed communications tower and adjacent perpetual clearcut would result in long-term negative impacts to park resources. We are not kidding you: someone thinks it’s a good idea to put a massive communications tower, with an adjacent clearcut in Redwood National Park. In total, three communication towers, with a height range of 120 to 270 feet and with adjacent clearcuts that must be perpetually maintained for the sake of the towers, are proposed for Rodgers Peak (in Redwood National Park), Alder Camp (a state-owned prison facility), and on Rattlesnake Peak (privately owned by Green Diamond). The towers would provide radio coverage for federal, state and local agencies but would not provide any cell phone reception for the nearby communities.
