MOSCOW, IDAHO - Trial has been set for Aug. 29 for four environmental activists accused of trespassing on the Nez Perce National Forest last summer in their attempt to block timber harvests in the Cove-Mallard area.
Erik Ryberg, John Kreilick, Brett Clubbe and Russell Poe have already pleaded innocent to a superseding indictment arising from the protests near Dixie in which vandals caused $60,000 in damage to equipment used to build roads to the disputed timber sale areas.
Seven other activists also face charges in connection with the 1993 protests, but their arraignments must still be held. A 12th protester, Dale Bilek, faces a separate trial for failing to appear at his original trial last winter on charges of trespassing and blocking a logging road during the 1993 protests.
