Part 3 - Line 4a
PROTECT - WE PROTECT REDWOODS BY SECURING THE REMAINING VIABLE OLD-GROWTH REDWOOD FORESTS AND DOUBLING THE PROTECTED COAST REDWOOD FOREST RESERVES OVER THE NEXT 100 YEARS TO ENSURE THAT THE FORESTS' HEALTH AND BEAUTY WILL ENDURE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. WE ACQUIRED A 453-ACRE ATKINS PLACE, A COAST REDWOOD FOREST IN MENDOCINO COUNTY. SUBSEQUENTLY, WE SECURED A DEAL TO PURCHASE A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON 3,862-ACRE WEGER RANCH, WHICH ABUTS ATKINS PLACE, ADDING MORE LAND PROTECTION TO OUR MONTGOMERY WOODS INITIATIVE. WE ALSO FINALIZED THE TRANSFER OF OUR 160-ACRE RED HILL PROPERTY (PURCHASED IN 2018) TO THE USDA FOREST SERVICE SO THAT IT MAY BE PROTECTED AND MANAGED BY THE FOREST SERVICE AS PART OF GIANT SEQUOIA NATIONAL MONUMENT AND SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST.
RESTORE - WE ARE RESTORING FORESTS AND ECOSYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE REDWOOD REGIONS TO ENSURE THAT REDWOOD FORESTS THRIVE, LEVERAGING THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE TO ACCELERATE THEIR HEALING. THE REDWOODS RISING PARTNERSHIP, A RESTORATION PROJECT IN REDWOOD NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS WITH CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS AND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE THAT SAW ITS FIFTH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR, COMPLETED 600 ACRES OF FORESTRY TREATMENTS, REMOVED 6 MILES OF OLD LOGGING ROADS AND COLLECTED DATA ON 24 DIFFERENT STREAM SITES. WE CONTINUED OUR ADVOCACY ON BEHALF OF GIANT SEQUOIA GROVES THROUGH OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE GIANT SEQUOIA LANDS COALITION, AND DIRECTLY DID POST-FIRE RESTORATION IN THREE GROVES. WE ALSO PERFORMED POST-FIRE RESTORATION IN THE SAN VICENTE REDWOODS IN THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS. WE COMPLETED THE THIRD PHASE OF THE REDWOODS AND CLIMATE CHANGE INITIATIVE, A BROAD RESEARCH PROJECT THAT HAS YIELDED GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH ON CARBON STORAGE AND RESILIENCE.
CONNECT - WE PARTNERED WITH CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS, PARKS CALIFORNIA TO PRESENT THE FIRST ANNUAL CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS WEEK IN JUNE 2022 TO HONOR THE IMPORTANT ROLE PARKS PLAY IN COMMUNITIES STATEWIDE. WE UNVEILED A NEW INTERPRETIVE EXHIBIT IN CALAVERAS BIG TREES STATE PARK WITH NUMEROUS PARTNERS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE PIONEER CABIN TREE. WITH PARTNERS SEMPERVIRENS FUND, PENINSULA OPEN SPACE TRUST, AND LAND TRUST OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, WE OPENED A NETWORK OF NEW TRAILS AT SAN VICENTE REDWOODS. PARTNERING WITH THE YUROK TRIBE, CALIFORNIA TROUT, AND OTHERS, WE COMPLETED A SECOND YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE REDWOOD NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS TRAILS GATEWAY & PRAIRIE CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT AT THE LEAGUE'S ORICK MILL SITE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY. CREWS REMOVED EXTENSIVE INVASIVE VEGETATION AND EXCAVATED AND RESTORED AN 800-FOOT SECTION OF CREEK CHANNEL THROUGH A DISCONNECTED PASTURE, AND ALSO REPLACED MORE THAN 10 ACRES OF ASPHALT WITH SOIL THAT WAS EXCAVATED TO MAKE THE CREEK CHANNEL. FIVE THOUSAND YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES FROM HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES PARTICIPATED IN EXPERIENCES ACROSS THE COAST REDWOOD AND GIANT SEQUOIA RANGES THROUGH THE LEAGUE'S OUTREACH PROGRAM. FOR THE SECOND YEAR, REDWOOD RIDES COORDINATED FREE BUS RIDES TO REDWOOD PARKS FOR ORGANIZATIONS REACHING PEOPLE OF COLOR AS WELL AS LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES.
