Calif. cancels big logger's license

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - California moved Tuesday to cancel the
logging license for Pacific Lumber, the company at the center of a battle
over the future of the state's dwindling ancient redwood groves. The state
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said Pacific Lumber must halt
all logging activities covered by its license by Wednesday because of
"continued violations of the state's forest practice rules." The
termination order followed a series of fresh charges against Pacific
Lumber, which won a conditional license last year to log its 200,000 acres
of forest after officials promised to stop practices that led to several
environmental violations. See full story
