Why blow a hole through Richardson Grove?
Those who stand to gain want you to believe that this project will be good for the local economy and harmless to this irreplaceable ancient redwood grove. While their claims of not removing any old growth trees are true, CalTrans proposes to cut the roots of an undetermined number of trees and remove 87 other trees that surround old growth trees, and to erect a 300 foot long retaining wall. These acts will have a huge impact on the unique ambiance of the grove and it’s endangered wildlife.
