Coalition to Save Jackson The People’s Forest
Why Is California Logging Sacred Lands?
Jackson Demonstration State Forest (JDSF) is a 48,652-acre state owned coast redwood forest located in Mendocino County. CalFire manages the land as an industrial timberland, routinely cutting large, old redwoods. The Save Jackson State Forest Coalition is committed to following Indigenous leadership and works to change the mandate of JDSF from industrial logging to Indigenous Land Management that will benefit all Californians.
We say:
First: Establish Tribal Co-Governance of JDSF, with equal authority to Tribes and California.
Second: Tribes co-write with California a new Forest Management Plan to restore the forest.
Third: The community works together to restore this Gem of a Forest!
