> --Gypsy Mountain, since September 8, 1998.
> The defense of this mountain began with a sit in a tree named Aradia; it
> ended with another treesit in a grove of redwoods above a murder
> investigation. The death of David 'Gypsy' Chain was based on an outraged
> logger who cut a tree onto the activist. Many injuries among the
> treesitters have caused activists to take down most of Gypsy mountain's
> treesits. The high canopy is no longer occupied! This Fall, MAXXAM/PL
> completed unit #2's clearcut. All previously occupied trees have survived
> this recent harvest! We Love you Gypsy!

> --Arcata community forest, since October 15, 1999
> Oregon treesitters from Red Cloud Thunder have traveled to California to
> set up a tree village to stop logging in the community forest of the
> "greenest" city in America. The result is that folks of Arcata have begun
> to wake up to the threat and they are rallying to stop the cut. After a
> recent brush clearing crew was prevented from working, a dozen law
> enforcement and security personnel returned, October 25, to ensure that
> the public did not interfere with the brush clearing. Regardless of this
> show of force, planned Fall cutting of the city of Arcata's redwood park
> has been put on hold until Spring. Call the city of Arcata and tell them
> save their park! <707-822-8184>

> OREGON:
> --Fall Creek tree village, aka Red Cloud Thunder, since April 20, 1998
> This tree village has kept Zip-O sawmills from clearcutting the Clark
> timber sale, which is composed of rare low-elevation islands, of
> publicly-owned, ancient forest. This village continues to be the epicenter
> of most new treesits that are sprouting up across the Pacific Northwest.

> --Winberry tree village, started January 17, 1999
> This tree village is defending 6 foot diameter cedar and fir trees. The US
> forest service claims these trees are only two to three feet in diameter.
> This rare ancient Cedar grove wasn't originally scheduled to be cut until
> the second half of the next decade. But the "replacement volume" program
> forced more public old growth to be cut sooner rather then later. Fax
> Senator Wyden (202) 228-2717, tell him to stop "negotiating," with the
> timber industry; tell him to speak out against this huge replacement
> volume rip-off, by demanding the cancellation of the North Winberry timber
> sale. Cascadia Forest Defenders: PO 11122, Eugene, OR 97440 541-684-8977

> --Eagle tree village, started April, 1999
> Outside of Portland, Oregon, a mid-air road blockade is occupied by
> activists who are defending a roadless area in Mount Hood National forest.
> The main treesit is high up in an ancient giant named Sunset. As the
> Weather sets in, the road blockade, and the treesit, are preparing to make
> it through winter. 503-241-4879 Cascadia Forest Alliance PO 4946 Portland,

> --Umpqua treesit, started July 4, 1999
> In the belly of central Oregon's timber beast, two women named River and
> Madrone have been camping in the top of a tree named Madre Loca. The local
> logging town of Roseburg, Oregon has been very vocal in opposition to

> In a demonstration against the Plum creek land exchange, forest activists

> This is another forest proposed to be traded off to Plum Creek. In
