Conserve, Enhance and Restore Watersheds and Ecosystems that Support Biological Diversity
This project involves a potential real property forestland acquisition by the Trinidad Rancheria. This 32-acre property was identified as a high priority for expanding the Rancheria in our recent Forest Management Plan update. The project will maintain and enhance forest health, wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration and water quality in this small coastal watershed. This high priority parcel is currently available (and time is of the essence). Appraisal and forest inventory are complete. Preparing additional grant applications to fund the acquisition are needed.
