Great Redwood Trail Agency

This item recommends the Board of Directors approve a non-binding memorandum of understanding between GRTA and R. Stuart Bewley, a private landowner in the Eel River Canyon with a 13,046-acre ranch and timber property known as Adanac Ranch, located adjacent to the GRTA right-of-way where trail is planned to be developed. It outlines activities of mutual interest that are beneficial for both parties to further explore such as trail alignment off GRTA right-of-way, access for trail construction and maintenance, promotion of conservation efforts, increased wildfire resilience, and the potential for development of trail-serving amenities such as a campground or seasonal staff housing.
