Revisioning The Use of a Redwood Timber Lot 

 Let's Create a Movement That Supports Personal and Ecological Awakening

"​No one sees trees. We see fruit, we see nuts, we see wood, we see shade. We see ornaments or pretty fall foliage. Obstacles blocking the road or wrecking the ski slope. Dark, threatening places that must be cleared. We see branches about to crush our roof. We see a cash crop. But trees - trees are invisible."  
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

2020 Update:
We made plans, and nature changed those plans. 
All of the infrastructure at the care forest was destroyed in the CZU Lightning Fire Complex, but our Redwoods are still standing. 
​We lost our house in this fire,  but the forest will always be out true home, and we are planning our next steps. 
​Please consider booming a member or making a one-time gift if you would like to support our work and our recovery.

Phase One

Aquire land and evaluate/improve basic infrastructure  (2012-2016)

Phase Two

Host guests for 1-2 seasons to gauge interest and impact, negotiate access, use, and subsequent purchase of neighboring timber lot (2017-2019)

Phase Three

Lot clean-up & fundraising to raise our deferred down payment, work with local zoning and conservation organizations to create a sustainable plan to move forward with project goals (2019/2020)

Phase Four

Recruit help to develop a plan to best steward the forest with the goal of placing it into a conservation easement once the loan is paid off, move forward with improvements to utilize the property in ways that align with the purpose of micro-conservation + human connection and access. (2020 and beyond)
