Ancient redwoods and the politics of finance: the hostile takeover of the Pacific Lumber Company

Article Abstract:

The environmental threat on Headwaters Forest proved to be unrelated to MAXXAM's 1986 takeover of Pacific Lumber. Evidence showed that Pacific Lumber had logged 91% of ancient forests prior to MAXXAM's junk bond-financed takeover. The company's past management was also proven to be determined to systematically log all of its ancient redwood trees. The Clinton Administration's decision to pay Headwaters $380 million in response to intense public outrage only further boosted interest group's reliance on emotional appeals to pressure resource allocation.
