Coleman tries to portray Bari as dishonest and hypocritical about Larry Chaulk's use of old growth redwood in a yurt that she helped build in 1987. On pages 56-57, Coleman recounts Bari's realization about the source of the wood and the criticism she made about it to Chaulk, a story that Bari herself told later in explaining how she became a militant defender of old-growth redwoods. Coleman takes Chaulk's side, presenting him as a good guy victimized by a fanatic, and concludes the episode with the claim (p.57) that "Years later, Chaulk sold off his property with the stipulation that the stand of virgin redwoods on it never be cut down. But Bari never talked about that."

It would have been a neat trick for Bari to talk about it, since the sale of Chaulk's property didn't happen until 31 days after she died. Also, the "stipulation" protecting the redwoods doesn't appear in the Deed of Sale or in any other document at the Recorder's Office, meaning it doesn't exist as a legally binding condition on the new owners. Here's the Deed of Sale:
