Abstract

Mike Napolitano has written a short paper on this subject as part of his Master's degree work in the Geology Department at Humboldt State University. Mike has produced a "sediment budget" for the North Fork, and took past logging history into account in his work. Francis Jackson is a long-time resident of the Mendocino area and an expert on its history and logging operations. He explained to Mike how the old growth was harvested here.
