CRNP Member Letter
Citizens for a Redwood National Park
This is a letter sent out to the members of the CRNP dictating current progress within the organization. The author commends the growing numbers within the group. They also acknowledge the continuation of persecution by loggers in the “journalistic” sense. They also mention the flood of December 1964 that dislodged “sawlogs” that caused damages to local bridges and other fixtures when floated away. The overall message seems to be one of encouragement for the future of the group as well as giving an update on recent occurrences.
