Thank you to everyone who took a survey, attended a community workshop, participated in an online townhall, and provided feedback on the plan. 

The Environmental Stewardship Plan was adopted by City Council in December, 2020. We look forward to working with you on implementing the plan.

A big THANK YOU to all the people and organizations who have taken our surveys, asked questions, submitted comments, attended events, and more. After nearly two years of work and lots of feedback, the Environmental Stewardship Plan was adopted by Council on December 14, 2020.

We are now shifting gears towards implementing the plan, and will have new opportunities to learn and engage soon. We will save this site as an archive of the planning process and engagement we received.

    Trees - Redwoods National Park

    by Lamar, over 4 years ago

    indescribable experience: went for a 4h/4 mile hike in a limited-access, totally remote area of the park (think Wilkeson/Carbonado, then 7 miles/20 minutes on a winding county road climbing into the mountains, then through a combination-lock locked gate and another 7 miles/30 minutes on a winding gravel-one-lane road with turnouts {no other traffic since I left the main highway almost an hour ago} to the trailhead and three other cars {actually a welcome sight!}); hike itself was down into a remote valley where the Redwoods had been spared from ever having been logged; trees over 30stories high/300'...
