They and affiliated community groups are trying to stop Pacific Lumber from clearcutting over 300 acres of some of the last remaining old growth Douglas Fir forests in our state, where trees commonly soar over 200 feet tall. A Perl programmer is needed to help give concerned citizens the ability to automatically fax the California Department of Forestry from the Mattole Forest Defense Site (http://mattoledefense.org). The work probably will only take a few hours -- you would need only to adapt a script that we have obtained from a large local nonprofit. These faxes, if sent, will help us to persuade the CDF to enforce laws which should protect the Douglas fir forests, which are home to Coho Salmon, marbled murrelets, and numerous other endangered species. If you can volunteer help or if you know anyone that might be able to help, then please email Read at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call me at 415/621-6232. We also can use help from people without Perl skills -- we need activists to relieve the tired defenders in the forest and people to provide supplies, do PR work, and most anything else. If you would like to get involved then please write, or visit http://mattoledefense.org.
