Plumas National Forest Supervisor Earl Ford leans against bundles of wood culled from biomass. It’s part of Greenville logger Randy Pew’s plan to build a new business with his son, Jared, while ridding the forest of biomass and providing a merchantable product. These bundles are prototypes for the actual half-cords that will be available for sale. Photo submitted |
Greenville logger Randy Pew wants to remove biomass from the forest, build a profitable business and provide a valuable commodity.
He shared his plan with the Quincy Library Group on April 25, and so impressed Supervisor Lori Simpson, who was in attendance, that she invited him to the Board of Supervisors’ May 7 meeting.
“You’re a man of resilience,” Simpson told Pew during the supervisors’ meeting. “You’re not whining. It shows what kind of character you have.”
The Greenville Cy Hall Memorial Museum is pleased to announce that the next History Night at the Museum is set for Thursday, May 16, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Over the past two seasons, the history nights have explored the ages when the Mountain Maidu had Indian Valley to themselves, managing its resources and enjoying an isolated paradise, followed by prospectors pouring into the valley.

But he probably won’t have to do that.
