Young green new growth is sprouting from blackened tree trunks in an ancient forest that was just engulfed by fire.
Though portions of the property were impacted by the 2020 Meyers Fire, the redwoods are already bouncing back, thanks to a history of sustainable forestry and a post-fire recovery program by the current owner, Soper Company, in consultation with the League.

The view from the top, overlooks a fantastic ocean, cliffs, and trees with fog rolling in.
Panoramic views extend across the famed Highway 1 to adjacent Fort Ross State Historic Park. The acquisition of Sonoma Coast Redwoods would create an exciting opportunity to expand the California Coastal Trail. Max Forster, @maxforsterphotography, courtesy of Save the Redwoods League.
