… Sonoma County supervisors approved a combined $8.4 million last week to purchase the 394-acre Russian River Redwoods property south of Guerneville and the 384-acre Camp Meeker Forest Open Space north of Occidental. … The grassroots Guerneville Forest Coalition and its partners challenged what had been the 224-acre Silver Estates Timber Harvest Plan beginning when it was first proposed in 2020, then took Cal Fire to court when the state agency approved a modified version of the logging plan. Opponents argued the harvest plan failed to protect threatened and endangered species, risked undermining steep, unstable hillsides, threatened harm to water quality and would mar the views from Highway 116, a state-designated Scenic Highway.
