Protecting the Beauty of The National Wild and Scenic Eel River
Frazier Haney
Executive Director
The Wildlands Conservancy
Stretching along 18.5 miles of the Wild and Scenic Eel River in northern California and encompassing nearly 30,000 acres, the Lone Pine Ranch will provide new access to the future Great Redwood Trail, wild river frontage, and host a variety of passive recreation opportunities.
Dotted with freshwater wetlands, deep forests, two herds of Roosevelt Elk, and splendid seasonal wildflower blooms, protection of this landscape will advance our vision of an Eel River Emerald Necklace—a string of Preserves along the river that protect and provide access to the region.
The Wildlands Conservancy has raised most of the funds to complete the acquisition, but is still seeking the final funds before this coming October.
Thank you to all those who have helped this effort in many ways.
