The tree, on a 186-acre private ranch in Potter Valley, was permitted for removal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, allowing PG&E to cut it down, despite the fact that since the 1990s, it has provided a nesting place for the iconic, and endangered, raptor. The tree sits on ancestral Pomo Indian territory, and the tribe had been seeking consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife to halt its removal.Monkey GonzalesMonkey Gonzales“We ask that no harm occur to this tree during consultation because we need time to explore reasonable solutions that will help protect our bald eagle relatives,” said Michael Hunter, chairman of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, in a statement.
