To: Trabuco District Forest Service
Save the Holy Jim Dams
The Trabuco District Forest Service will be needlessly destroying and removing the fish dams in Holy Jim Canyon unless we do something to stop it.
Why is this important?
The destruction of Holy Jim Dams is being included in the steelhead trout recovery plan. All studies show these old dams have no impact. Removing the dams won't make a difference. After over 70 years of dams...the area is completely in sync with them. This movement to keep the dams was created by a Forest Superviser of the Cleveland National Forest. The conservationists want it returned to its original state, just because!!! The Sierra Club does some good work but also some less than desireable work too. I vividly remember running upstream, leaping from rock to rock with the pure joy of nature. The dams have become a beautiful part of nature as have the rock walls in Hawaii. Let the next generation and every generation after them enjoy this sacred place of nature in the midst of this concrete world.
