WHEREAS critically endangered Coho Salmon struggle to survive in the Russian River basin but only in a few small streams one of which is a fragile watershed referred to as Felta Creek west of Healdsburg, California; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Sonoma County Democratic Party opposes logging in the headwaters of Felta Creek and strongly supports a conservation solution through purchase of the property to protect this fragile and important area in perpetuity and urges CalFire to deny the logging proposed.
