Timber Harvest Plans

Background:
Cal Fire has recently approved a timber harvest plan (THP) that does not require the applicant to survey for a CNPS List 2.3 plant (Erythronium hendersonii) as recommended by CA DFG. A second THP has similar issues with a CNPS List 2.2 species (Polemonium carneum). A third THP from this northern region may have related issues concerning a CNPS listed species.

Current Status:
The Conservation Program is examining these events to determine how the recent THP cases may vary from the judgement decision in Weburg v. Board of Forestry.
