This site is designed to help the public understand and respond to a proposal by the Bohemian Club of San Francisco to log its 2700 acre Bohemian Grove property in Sonoma County. This property includes the largest unprotected acreage of remnant old growth redwood forest in the Bay Area.

Two years ago, the Bohemian Club has submitted a Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan (1-06NTMP-011SON) to the CA Dept of Forestry for approval. Because of opposition to the plan among neighbors of the Bohemian Grove as well as by a number of highly respected experts, and due to the fact that the Bohemian Club failed to disclose the nature and extent of its old growth holdings, the plan has been stuck in the administrative pipeline ever since.

Now the Bohemian Club, through its lawyer, Wayne Whitlock, and its public relations firm, Sam Singer and Associates, is pushing hard to get this NTMP approved early this year with its final administrative hearing tentatively expected in mid February 2008.
