The Sempervirens Fund has secured a $5,600,000 option to purchase two redwood forest properties, the Lompico Headwaters and Malosky Creek Forest, from timberland owner Roger Burch. Mr. Burch also donated an additional portion of the total value in order to complete the transaction. The Fund's last-minute intervention will prevent the imminent logging of over 14 million board feet of redwood and Douglas fir trees in the watershed.

* Annual Slide Show DVDs
I've saved this year's slide show into DVD format so that it will play on any DVD player hooked up to a television, no computer necessary. Jpg files of all the pictures are also on the disk. So for those of you with DVD drives on your computers, you can download the individual pictures to your computer. The DVDs will be on sale at the Confab and at upcoming club meetings for $10 each. Lee Fitzsimmons is in charge of the sales and in order to know how many we need to make, please give Lee a call (464-2460) or an email (rleefitzsimmons@yahoo.com) and place your order. - Dougald Scott
