Advocates block PG&E workers attempting tree removal in latest clash over Potter Valley bald eagle nest

UPDATE, 7 p.m. — PG&E has agreed to a temporary reprieve for tree removal until Jan. 17 to allow for negotiations between the public utility, the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, and environmental groups, according to a news release from The Center for Biological Diversity.

“The Tribe needs time to consult with the [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service] and PG&E in order to reach a solution that saves these eagles and keeps everyone safe,” said Priscilla Hunter, the tribal historic preservation officer for the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians.
