Press Release: Trinidad Head Cell Tower Removal

The Tsurai Ancestral Society would like to thank Friends of Trinidad Head, the Yurok Tribe, and all the community members who voiced their concerns over the years regarding the cell towers on Tsurewa (Trinidad Head). 

The Tsurai Ancestral Society and Yurok Tribe hold Tsurewa in the highest regards as one of the most sacred places within the Tsurai Village. Over the years, the Tsurai Ancestral Society has advocated for protections of this important place and with the help of caring citizens, it appears one of those battles is coming to a long sought-after end. While the City of Trinidad has left the Tsurai Ancestral Society out of most planning discussions since the 2018 Memorial Lighthouse removal, we are cautiously optimistic about the upcoming removal of the pad and remaining structure for the cell towers. 

The City of Trinidad is better for the active, caring citizens who step up to voice their concerns about environmentally and culturally destructive planning. We appreciate all of you and encourage you to stay active now, more than ever, as the City is developing policies that will affect us all for generations to come. Joining is easier than ever, by attending virtually or by phone. Visit the City’s website at http://trinidad.ca.gov/ to obtain dates and meeting packets.
