Hello again! Recently I have been working/volunteering for a group of local community members. A hillside above my neighbors houses is up for logging, and they are concerned about the effects it could have. Over the last several years, there have been many landslides that destroyed property and endangered lives. I am concerned that logging the hillside on a steep slope might cause the soil to become unstable and heavy rains will cause the hill to come tumbling down on my friends and family.
I have been working hard writing letters to our commissioner and researching information for my community. We are asking that the DNR only approve the portions of the proposed harvest with low to moderate slopes, where there is no indication of a landslide hazard, and that no roads are approved that cross any areas that are potentially unstable. This way, Sierra Pacific will still be able to collect their necessary harvest while not endangering property, people, or wildlife. We have an event coming up on the 25th called "Mycelium Rising". It is going to be held at the Bloom Cafe in Bellingham from 8-12 p.m.
This is a great cause for me to be working on because it helps me get closer to my goal of getting to Argentina, AND I get to help my community stay safe. It is wonderful to be able to get two things done that I love at the same time. I am able to accomplish twice as many things!
