Redwood Chapter is a geographically vast region and is composed of six local Groups. MAP

Urgent Call to the Public
There is a NEW policy document under consideration by the State Water Resource Control Board, SWRCB, whose jurisdiction it is to protect the health of fresh water streams for aquatic life including salmon. The public must submit their comments no later than May 1st, 2008 by 12:00pm. This is an urgent call to the public to particpate and let the SWRCB know that we expect them to protect valuable public resources like adequate flows in streams to maintain a healthy aquatic ecosystem. Please check out these documents:

• Fisheries biologist, Pat Higgins MIFNCS comments.
• MIFNCS presentation.
• Sample Letter to Governor.
• Sample Letter response to the SWRCB's new proposed Policy Document on the MIFNCS.
• Bullet points about MIFNCS.

Keeping CalPERS honest about its investment policy
A Sonoma County deforestation project financed by CalPERS is not environmentally responsible. The California Public Employees' Retirement System claims to make socially and environmentally responsible investments. CalPERS is one of the largest institutional investors in the world, and such a policy could make a difference. But is this policy being implemented? Click here to find out more.

Reducing Solar Installation Fees
The Sierra Club is campaigning for reduced solar installation fees. The Sierra Club (Loma Prieta, San Francisco Bay and Redwood Chapters) have initiated a campaign to encourage municipalities with excessive permit fees and application processing delays to implement changes that will facilitate the installation of solar power. The Sierra Club has formally contacted dozens of city officials about this and is encouraging them to review solar permit fees. Click here to find out more.
