"Deep in the mountains of Mendocino County, nearly 200 acres of old-growth
redwoods, chronically threatened by logging, have long stood on a plot known as
Andersonia West, well beyond the reach and awareness of most Californians — at
least since Native Americans lived there.
Today, in a story that goes full circle, this ancient grove of trees has
garnered permanent protection and the land is back in the hands of those who
call it home.
The deal, to be announced Tuesday, was orchestrated by San Francisco
conservation group Save the Redwoods League. The organization purchased the
wooded swath two years ago and last month transferred its ownership to the
InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, which represents tribal nations with
historical ties to the area. Covenants on the property ensure the forest’s
preservation."
