Gary Noy

I learned a lot from Gary Noy's talk on Tuesday. I did not know that Sacramento was part of the Sierra Nevada range. Never knew that they cut down trees in the past just because they could. I did not know about hydrolic mining and the damage it has done. Or about the law suit, Woodruff vs. Northbloomfield and how if is still refered to today. I did know about the how we are looking into the way the Native Americans set controlled fire to renew the soil. I also knew a little about the gold rush in 1848. I'm pretty new to this area but have heard or visited some of the areas he was refering to in his speech. I found it interesting.
