…for the People’s Forest of Mendocino County…

The Mendocino Trail Stewards

Jackson Demonstration State Forest:

50,000 acres of unceded Northern Pomo and Coast Yuki land.

California’s largest publicly-held forest is a key to our climate’s future. The second-growth redwood forest ecosystem has been proven to be the most effective carbon-sequestering ecotype in the world. The State of California owns more of it than any other entity in the world, and it is being managed as industrial timberland, with no protection under current law whatsoever. We assert that this forest is #worthmorestanding.
