Outside of the Headwaters Preserve, which contains the Headwaters Grove and the Elkhead Springs Grove, how many other groves of old-growth redwood are being protected?
The proposed Habitat Conservation Plan, which applies to all of Pacific Lumber Company lands outside the Headwaters Preserve, identifies thirteen (13) marbled murrelet conservation areas outside the Headwaters Preserve, twelve (12) of which will be preserved. Five of the six uncut groves (the “lesser cathedrals”) will be protected for the life of the permit in these conservation areas. The areas that will be protected for the life of the 50-year permit include Allen Creek, Allen Creek Extension, Shaw Gift, Bell Lawrence, Booth’s Run, Cooper Mill, Lower North Fork Elk, Road 3, Right Road 9, the northern portion of Road 7 & 9, and either Owl Creek or Grizzly Creek. The last two are subject to an option. What is the Option for Owl Creek or the Grizzly Creek under the HCP? This option requires Pacific Lumber Company to set aside for the life of the permit either Owl Creek or Grizzly Creek complex.

The company has the option of harvesting one of these stands only if the other stand is place
