Tree planting & forest recovery

To rebuild a healthier forest, restoration teams have reforested more than 1,500 acres and decommissioned 46 miles of legacy roads. These efforts promote redwood regeneration, reduce sediment runoff, and create more resilient habitats for plants and wildlife.

watershed restoration

Usal's watershed restoration efforts have improved 14 miles of salmon habitat by enhancing stream conditions, reducing erosion, and improving water quality. These projects help restore critical aquatic ecosystems and support the long-term health of native fish and wildlife populations.

We, at Redwood Forest Foundation, acknowledge that the land we refer to as Usal Redwood Forest is located on ancestral and unceded lands of the Wailaki, Cahto, Sinkiyone and Coast Yuki peoples, who stewarded this land for generations. We believe that the voices of community must be integral in the management, governance and utilization of Usal Redwood Forest. We are committed to creating meaningful relationships with Native peoples and supporting the preservation, protection and renewal of their cultural heritage and practices. We are taking action to fulfill that intent and encourage you to be part of that endeavor.
