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.

Sierra Club
This publication written by President and Editor of the Humboldt Beacon J.D. Odell, opens up with “Battle Lines Are Drawn…” in relation to Sierra Club members, Governor Brown, and other conservation groups who seek to preserve the Redwood forest by accusing them of perpetrating a “hoax” and not wanting to accomplish “the goals of true conservation.” It is important to note that this publication’s values are aligned with those of the Redwood Parks and Recreation Committee.
