• Midpen plans to improve health of La Honda forest by cutting down trees (almanacnews.com) — Midpen wants to selectively thin crowded trees in La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve to help forests recover from historic logging. The proposal also addresses old logging roads that send sediment into the watershed. Forest treatment could begin in 2027–2028, but the timber harvesting plan first needs Cal Fire review and public review.
