Although the NTMP has been denied, The NAIL Steering Committee wants you to know that, regardless of what comes next, we remain committed to the following:

  • The issues of logging in this watershed still stand - it's a bad idea for Fire Protection, Water Quality and Land Stability. 
  • Should the water company ever submit a Timber Harvest Proposal in the future, the community will fight back.
NAIL encourages all efforts to create a public
trust with this land
so that it can be enjoyed in its natural state for
generations to come.

Neighbors Against Irresponsible Logging (NAIL)  formed in August, 2005 in order to protect the Los Gatos Creek Watershed and Thompson Road area from the San Jose Water Company's proposed logging operations with Big Creek Lumber.
