A 120-foot ponderosa pine tree in Potter Valley will not be cut down for the time being. PG&E had a permit to cut the tree down, as they considered it a fire hazard. However, a pair of bald eagles moved in for nesting purposes. This caused activists to rally to save the tree with some even pledging to chain themselves to it. PG&E then agreed to not cut down the tree and negotiate with the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians and environmental groups. Regardless, the tree is now protected for 7 months as a bald eagle nesting site.
