Forest News

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, Sinkyone 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. To learn about the peoples of this land, start with the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, a consortium of ten federally recognized Northern California tribal nations with cultural ties to these lands and waters.
