Why Dark Gulch is the “missing puzzle piece”
onDark Gulch fills a critical hole in the Montgomery Woods Initiative, particularly from a fire resilience perspective. Protecting the nearby Dark Gulch property will help buffer the reserve’s old-growth redwoods from fire and encroaching development.

It allows us to be better stewards within a changing climate.
