Gov. Brown Proposes Redwood Pork

Completion of a master plan calling for state of California acguisiiion of 45,fi)0 acres of redwood forests and adjacent lands has been announced by Governor Edmund G. Brown.

The governor said the plan calls for purchase of 6,544 acres of primeval redwood forests in Humboldt and Del Norte counties plus an additional 38,510 acres of cutover forest lands adjacent to the redwoods.

Brown said the plan also supports a proposal to re-route a controversial four-lane freeway along a cut-over section east of Prairie Creek Redwood State Park,

The re-routing has strong support from conservationist groups but is opposed by the State Division of Highways and local gov' ernment groups.

Brown said he was confident a compromise plan for re-routing the freeway could be worked out with the highway commission.

The completed master plan, said Brown, would add 6,577 new camps sites, 3,013 picnic sites and 57 miles of additional parkways to existing facilities in state redwood parks.

The malter plan covers five counties-Marin, Sonoma, Mendo' cino, Humboldt and Del Norte. It finds that the principal need is addition of land at four existing state parks: Jedediah Smith, Del Norte Coast. Prairie Creek and Humboldt.

Brown said the proposed master plan would be tied in "as closely as possible" with federal plans to establish a mammoth Redwood National Park stretching from Del Norte to Mendocino counties.

"California's redwoods truly are among the natural wonders of the world," he said. "This master plan is a point ol departure lor a program. to sryre ilwm lrom the saws and, axes ol loggers."

Brown said the plan also calls for private interests to manage another 35,000 acres of redwood forests "in a way that would hold damages to adjacent park lands to a minimum.

Brown said the master plan would be presented to the State Park Commission.
