Stewarding Lost River Tour
Join Sanctuary Forest on Saturday, September 7 for the Stewarding Lost River Tour (our final hike of the 2024 season!), led by Tasha McKee and Cam Thompson. Participants will be introduced to Sanctuary Forest’s restoration work in the Lost River tributary of the Mattole River, including our streamflow augmentation ponds, beaver dam analog structures, forest thinning, instream habitat improvements and groundwater recharge work in North and South Fork Lost River.
Meet at the Sanctuary Forest office in Whitethorn at 10 a.m., the tour will end by 3 p.m. Bring lunch, plenty of water, dress in layers and wear sturdy hiking shoes. This hike will be Easy to Moderate and will be a slow-moving tour at two separate sites, about 2.7 miles total, over uneven ground, with lots of time for discussion.
