Yet for decades, visitors arriving via the town of Orick passed a sawmill where the great redwoods were still being sliced into lumber. Even after the mill closed, its aging structures and acres of asphalt marred a crucial redwoods ecosystem near the confluence of Prairie Creek and Redwood Creek. The degraded site was a painful reminder of the area\u2019s complex history of cultural devastation, ecological destruction, and economic hardship, in the heart of traditional Yurok land.<\/p>\n<p>Save the Redwoods League saw this scar on the landscape and recognized an incredible opportunity for healing and renewal. In 2013, with generous member support, the League purchased the 125-acre Orick Mill Site and began developing a restoration plan with local communities and partners. The bold vision: to fully revive this vital ecosystem and create a welcoming visitor gateway to Redwood National and State Parks, featuring an expanded network of hiking trails, engaging exhibits, and a traditional Yurok village for cultural activities and interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>Working toward this ambitious goal, the League began a close collaboration with the Yurok Tribe, National Park Service, California State Parks, and many other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/project\/o-rew-redwoods-gateway\/project-partners\/\">key partners<\/a>. In 2021, the team kicked off a five-year, $23 million restoration of Prairie Creek, led by watershed restoration experts from California Trout and the Yurok Tribe, with the California State Coastal Conservancy as the funding lead. In the first three years, Indigenous crews removed 10 football fields worth of asphalt from their ancestral lands and restored a heavily degraded section of the creek and surrounding floodplain. The dream of a revitalized habitat for salmon, steelhead, and other wildlife was becoming a reality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59202\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-59202 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-1140x741.jpg\" alt=\"Crew walks among native plants planted as part of a revegetation effort at \u2018O Rew. \" width=\"1140\" height=\"741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-1140x741.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-1536x999.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-700x455.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/savetheredwoods_evanmariepetit-web-31x20.jpg 31w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">From left, Joseph L.

On March 19, 2024, Save the Redwoods League and project partners signed a landmark agreement, describing our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/press-releases\/historic-agreement-to-return-tribal-land\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared commitment<\/a> to transfer the property to the Yurok Tribe for permanent protection and recreational access, to be co-managed with Redwood National and State Parks. As envisioned, the conveyance would restore full ownership to the site\u2019s original stewards and establish a groundbreaking model for Indigenous land management at the doorstep to a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n<p>Having taken this historic first step, the project partners are linking arms for the momentous work that lies ahead. To achieve our ambitious goal of a 2026 conveyance, the partners must finalize agreements and mechanisms for permanent conservation, public access, co-management, and funding. The League will also work to complete a $9 million site enhancement, constructing robust visitor amenities, interpretive displays, and hiking trails at &#8216;O Rew. This transformation will be part of our ongoing efforts to create a world-class recreational gateway where the Yurok Tribe can welcome the public to explore the majesty of the redwood forest and their ancestral lands through the lens of conservation, revitalization, and living Indigenous culture.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-top: 2px solid #cde8df; border-bottom: 2px solid #cde8df; background-color: transparent; ;margin: 30px auto 40px; padding: 20px;\">\n<p><em>Help us realize this exciting vision for an Indigenous-owned visitor gateway to Redwood National and State Parks.
