Attention to this region has increased in recent years. At the same time, much new information has been collected. Each year the array of decisions affecting lands and natural resources in the redwood region carry more weight; evidence the recent interest in watershed assessment, fish and wildlife recovery efforts and silvicultural changes. This symposium is part of a continuing effort to promote the development and communication of scientific findings to inform management and policy decisions.

  • Spandau Ballet
    GIOVEDì 23 OTTOBRE 2014 Spandau Ballet grandi protagonisti oggi al festival del film di Roma: i cinque membri della band inglese degli anni Ottanta, oggi ultracinquantenni, hanno presentato il film che celebra il loro percorso, Spandau Ballet "Soul Boys of the Western World", diretto dalla regista George Hencken, distribuito nei cinema italiani il 21 e 22 ottobre. In un'ora e trenta di film Grande stile per il loro film su anni 80 si ripercorre il decennio degli anni Ottanta con un gruppo che ne fu protagonista, e che operò una rivoluzione di costume e musicale dopo il nichilismo punk, nell'Inghilterra degli scioperi e dei riots, sotto il governo di Margharet Thatcher. "Quello che amo di più di questo film è CARMEN GUADALAXARA E CRISTIAN la parte in cui si racconta il quartiere dove vivevamo da bambini, PEDRAZZINI Islington, e poi gli scioperi, i tumulti, la politica di quegli anni in Gran Bretagna: questo non è solo un film sugli Spandau Ballet" ha chiarito entusiasta il cantante Tony Hadley, mentre il sassofonista Steve Norman ha precisato: "Noi abbiamo dato tutto il materiale d`archivio a George, e lei ha reso giustizia sia agli anni Ottanta che alla nostra profonda amicizia". Attraverso immagini di repertorio e il racconto dei protagonisti nel film si ripercorre la storia dei cinque ragazzi della woking [email protected] class londinese, Gary e Martin Kemp, Steve Norman, Tony Hadley, John SPETTACOLINEWS.IT Keeble, che vendettero 25 milioni di dischi. Per gli Spandau è indelebile il ricordo del loro successo in Italia: "Essere qui era bellissimo, eravamo molto popolari" ha affermato Gary Kemp, mentre Hadley ha ricordato: "Noi qui abbiamo incontrato le fan più pazzi del mondo" e Steve Norman ha precisato: "L`Italia ha veramente abbracciato con affetto la nostra band: ai concerti non c`erano solo ragazzine, ma bambini piccoli, nonni e bisnonni".

  • Request for Proposal for Redwoods Rising Forest & Road Restoration
    Request for Proposal for Redwoods Rising Forest & Road Restoration Operations October 2019 INTRODUCTION In partnership with the National Park Service (NPS) and the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR), Save the Redwoods League (the League) is seeking proposals for services to conduct ecological restoration activities including forest thinning, road improvement and removal, and stockpiling large pieces of wood to be installed in creeks as aquatic habitat structures within Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP). This project is expected to last for several years, and it is the partnership’s intent to develop a long-term relationship with a trusted operator to implement a complex suite of activities across multiple watersheds, forest types, and road conditions. Competitive proposals will assure high quality and timely work, transparency in practices and accounting, will employ local labor where possible, and demonstrated commitment to long-term stewardship. SECTION 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Overview RNSP includes Redwood National Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks. The parks are home to 45 percent of the world’s remaining protected old-growth redwoods. However, alongside these remaining primeval redwood stands are large swaths of forest that bear the scars of logging, including eroding roads, degraded streams, and unnaturally dense forest stands. The park’s diverse landscape supports a wide variety of habitats and ecosystems (e.g., coastal dune/scrub, forests, woodlands, grasslands) and essential habitat for threatened, endangered, and special status species such as marbled murrelet, northern spotted owl, and salmonids such as coho salmon, chinook salmon, and steelhead trout.

Graphic Arts Center Publishing Co., Portland. Chapter 4. Save the Redwoods! Naturalists had explored the forests of the north coast region and some, including John Mur, were especially impressed by the extraordinary stand of redwoods alongside the South Fork of the Eel River at bull Creek and the nearby Dyerville Flat. These experts agreed that the coast redwood forest was at its magnificent best far to the north of San Francisco. Some authorities went so far as to say that the Bull Creek and Dyerville Flat area supported the most impressive and spectacular forest in the whole world…. In 1916 and 1917 several developments took place that would eventually have a profound impact on the north coast redwood region in general and the Bull Creek-Dyerville Flat area in particular.

  • 2009 Annual Report Welcome Pete Dangermond and Ruskin K
    2009 Annual Report Welcome Pete Dangermond and Ruskin K. Hartley Dear Friends, This year, Save the Redwoods League adopted a mission statement to succinctly communicate what we do: “Save the Redwoods League protects and restores redwood forests and connects people with their peace and beauty so these wonders of the natural world flourish.” We continued to carry out this mission as we have since 1918, despite the challenging economic climate. With our members’ and partners’ generous support in fiscal year 2008-9, we protected more than 1,100 acres of key redwood forestlands valued at $8 million, and transferred 831 acres to state or national parks or reserves. This work brought the total number of acres the League has protected to more than 181,000. Our work continued as a world leader in two important endeavors: accelerating restoration of the logged Mill Creek forest to a majestic state, and developing a strategy to help redwoods survive rapid climate change. To sustain our work in the future, we continued to grow future redwoods stewards by awarding 37 grants that helped 63,000 children and adults experience and want to protect redwoods. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the generosity of our members and partners. We extend our sincere thanks, and we look forward to your steadfast support to help save redwoods—sources of peace and beauty for people today and in centuries to come. Pete Dangermond Ruskin K.

One of the goals in the coming decades is to bring back stands of towering coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) on 80,000 acres of public lands in Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP). Redwoods Rising creates an unprecedented level of collaboration between these three organizations to restore the redwood forests and ensure the parks’ entire 120,000 acres exist as a connected forest ecosystem and a thriving landscape that supports and protects the natural and cultural treasures found there. “If our greatest responsibility is to leave the world better than we found it, then healing the redwood forest represents an opportunity of a lifetime. We can actually restore and grow the old-growth forests of the future,” said Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League.

    36 TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Spandau Ballet plan world tour pandau Ballet are planning a world tour next year. The 80s pop stars - fronted by STony Hadley - are set to hit the road in support of their new LP which they are cur- rently recording, their full album for 25 years. Gary Kemp told The Sun: “Everything is back on track. We want to go back on tour. We didn’t patch things up for money but because we had a deep history with each other.” The band - which includes brothers Gary and Martin Kemp, Steve Norman, Tony Hadley and John Keeble - reunited in 2009 after a bitter split for a run of shows and could make £20 million collectively from their proposed 2015 tour. The five band members - who between them produced hits like ‘Gold’ and ‘True’ - split up in 1990 and had not spoken for 20 years after disagreements over royalties. The band have been busy releasing a movie about their musical life titled ‘Soul Boys of The Western World’ which will be available in October. Janet Jackson to release new album this year? anet Jackson is expected to release a new album later this year. The ‘All For JYou’ singer has reportedly been working on an upcoming project and it is said she will pay tribute to her late brother Michael, with plans to cover one of his tracks for the record. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “The label are really pushing Janet and have made her a priority act for the year, which means a big budget.”It’s the first album she’s released since Michael died in 2009 so she felt it was fitting to include a nod to him.
