This morning Carol Vander Meer and I spoke with Stephanie Tidwell, Executive Director of Friends of the Eel, about the final approval of the Settlement agreement with NCRA and Friends of the Eel and Californians for Alternatives to Toxics. This has made it possible to proceed with the implementation of SB1029 to create the Great Redwood Trail. Stephanie recently rafted a section of the eel River Canyon that may someday become part of the Great Redwood Trail. We also talked about the Humboldt Trails Summit on May 4, 9:30-12:30 which will include a Trails Showcase, Local updates and a Town Hall meeting with State Senator McGuire on the Great Redwood Trail. This will take place at the Kate Buchanan room at HSU.
