Save the Redwoods League has secured an opportunity to purchase a conservation easement on the 3,862-acre Weger Ranch. The League must raise $1 million in private philanthropy in order to complete the purchase of the $14 million conservation easement and protect Weger Ranch in perpetuity.
Donors help us raise funds for Atkins Place.
Save the Redwoods League announced the purchase of Andersonia West, a 523-acre property in the remote northern California area known as “the Lost Coast.” The newly acquired property protects 200 acres of old-growth coast redwoods and imperiled species habitat.
Anthony Castaños, the League’s land stewardship manager, recently captured this drone footage above our ongoing restoration at the Big River-Mendocino Old-Growth Redwoods project.
The League’s wildlife cams at Cape Vizcaino (Cape Viz) in Mendocino County caught animals in action playing, prancing, grazing, and generally doing what animals do. The property provides habitat to a variety of wildlife including (but certainly not limited to) American black bears, ospreys, black tailed deer, and pumas living among stands of old-growth coast redwoods, grasslands, chaparral, and a scenic, rugged coastline.
The Lost Coast lends itself to adventure like nowhere else in California. As you explore this stunningly beautiful, remote expanse of coastal bluffs and forests, a true sense of discovery takes hold – it feels wonderfully wild and unchanged. With 100 miles of almost completely roadless beauty, this is the longest stretch of undeveloped coastline left in California. Small wonder that the spectacular trail that winds along the Lost Coast is a top-tier, bucket-list adventure for all who love to get into the wild. And now that trail is even better!
