Forest Preservation Society v. Dept. of Forestry a
Plaintiff Forest Preservation Society appeals from the judgment entered after the trial court denied its petition for writ of mandate (petition) challenging a timber harvesting plan proposed by real party in interest, Mendocino Redwood Company (MRC), as a violation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.) (CEQA), the Z’Berg-Nejedly Forest Practice Act of 1973 (Pub. Resources Code, § 4511 et seq.) (the Act), and the Forest Practice Rules (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 895 et seq.) (FP Rules). Plaintiff argues this timber harvesting plan is deficient and that defendant California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF or department) failed to proceed in the manner required by law in its assessment and subsequent approval of the plan’s cumulative impacts on greenhouse gas emissions. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the judgment.
