Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Located in Humboldt County, the McKinleyville Land Trust focuses on land conservation, stewardship, and environmental education within the community. The Trust manages several properties, each offering unique opportunities for outdoor recreation and nature observation. The Trust's mission is to protect critical habitats, such as wetlands, forests, and coastal areas, while creating public access for educational and recreational purposes. Visitors can explore trails winding through verdant landscapes, witness diverse flora and fauna, and enjoy the serenity of natural areas preserved for future generations. Established in the late 1990s, the Trust has played a critical role in fostering environmental awareness and community involvement. While primarily focused on conservation, these areas serve as a haven for hikers, bird watchers, and nature enthusiasts, providing insight into the ecological richness of Northern California.
