The addition of the 80-acre Rocky Ridge parcel brings old-growth redwoods, the Montgomery Creek headwaters, peregrine falcon habitat, and 360-degree views to Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve in Mendocino. This marks the first transfer of League-conserved land to California State Parks in over a decade.
Save the Redwoods League has transferred its 160-acre Red Hill property 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.
To ensure lasting protection and ongoing stewardship, the League donated and transferred the forest to the Sinkyone Council, and the Council granted the League a conservation easement. Through this partnership, the Sinkyone Council returns Indigenous presence to a land from which Sinkyone people were forcibly removed generations ago.
