REROUTING OF HIGHWAY 101 AT DEL NORTE COAST REDWOODS PARK |
| Not replaceable in less
than a thousand years, California's old growth redwood forests
are a unique and ancient flora now protected in the memorial
groves in Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park. These memorial
groves are protected by the State Park Commission of the State of
California as trustee for hundreds of people who have contributed to
their protection and preservation in perpetuity. Only 7 percent
of the original redwood forest is now protected in public parks in
California. |
|
| Caltrans has proposed a
rerouting of highway 101 at Del Norte Coast Redwoods Park. A
suitable alternative route for highway 101 bypassing these groves is
available with a route through cutover lands. |
|
| The Federation of
Western
Outdoor Clubs opposes any highway construction which would destroy old
growth (over 200 years old) in Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park and
urges the Government of California and Caltrans to seek a route outside
Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park for the relocation of highway 101. |
