McKay Tract: I'm Yours?
Mike Dronkers / Tuesday, April 23 @ 3:15 p.m. / Eureka Rising , PSA
UPDATE 4/25/13:
County of Humboldt's Hank Seemann spoke with KHUM about the meeting, the hurdles, and the process.
-----------------------
The county is gearing up to acquire hundreds of acres behind Eureka. The McKay Tract, currently owned by Green Diamond Resource Company, could become accessible to the public for hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, watershed protection, with sustainable timber harvest defraying the cost of management.

This is not a done deal, and the county is begging for public comment. Are you for this? Will this be another meeting proponents don't show?
- What: Public input for McKay Tract proposal
- When: 6:00-7:30pm p.m., Tuesday April 30th
- Where: Winship Middle School, 2500 Cypress (Off Walnut Drive in Cutten)
