(BCN) – Monte Rio Redwoods Regional Park is four times larger.
The province acquired a piece of more than 1500 acres of the protected Redwood forests on Tuesday, which will greatly expand the park and create a adjacent save area of more than 34 square miles southwest of the unlisted Monte Rio.
The expansionist Monte RIO RIO ROOWOOODS from Forestry and Lumber Mendocino Redwoods Company, LLC for $ 24 million by Save the Redwoods League, was immediately donated to the province’s regional gardens.
The land, which is harvested for wood for more than a century, will now be protected permanently for public and natural uses.
“This wonderful feature links a network of protected lands, protecting critical wildlife paths, salmon flows, and rapidly growing red wood forests,” said Steve Metz, President and CEO of Save the Redwoods League.
The expulsion is located between the Sonoma Coast government park to the west, Monte Rio Redwood regional and open spaces park to the east. It connects the coast to the bohemian highway with 22,000 acres of protected red wood forests and is a corridor of wildlife and water gatherings, including Jenner Honitands to the north.
The Sonoma Agricultural Province, an open and open district, is a section of the Ministry of Regional Gardens, to reduce the conservation and the entertainment institute to supervise the land and prepare it for public use, according to a statement from the Parks area.
A property was collected by organizations including the California Wildlife Conservation Council, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Sonoma Land Trust, and Federal Indians at Gratun Rancheria, which is the unknown West Sonoma province and donations to save the Redwoods Association, according to a journalist from the Foundation.
The Monte Rio Redwoods 3.7 expansion includes miles of tables, including the Dutch bill standards, the freezing of germs, and serenity, which are tributaries for the Russian river, which are lands of spawning for a federal, and steel salmon.
Besides Redwoods, the Earth has Douglas, Tanawak and California Gulf trees. Most red wood is the growth of the new generation, 150 years after land registration. All red woods were registered from the Russian river corridor in the mid -nineteenth century. One of the few old generations is Redwoods 14 feet and has a tunnel through it, according to Sonoma County Regional Parks.
The preservation plan aims to protect red wood for future generations and maintain natural ecosystems, as well as a carbon account resource. The latest red wood grows from the elderly and can store carbon for hundreds of years, making it a major component in the state plan to maintain 30 % of its public territory by 2030 to reduce the effects of climate change.
Supervisor Linda Hopkins, which includes 5 Mont Vista, celebrated the acquisition and praised the relevant organizations.
“The expansion of Monte Rio Redwood is a tremendous victory not only in West Province, but for all Sonoma,” Hopkins said in a statement. “This land is amazingly beautiful – a vital part of environmental health in our region, climate flexibility and cultural heritage.”
