An environmental activist who has led high-profile opposition to commercial logging has conceded violating state timber harvest rules by cutting down trees to make way for a new home, it was reported.
Settling a dispute with the state Department of Forestry, Vince Taylor agreed that he violated the regulations last year when he felled trees on property he owns near the town of Mendocino on the Northern California coast, according to a report in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
