Help reforest Redwood Valley; acorn collectors needed!

MENDOCINO Co., 11/6/20 — In 2017, the Redwood Fire tore through Redwood Valley. The fire moved quickly and burned hot, resulting in a devastating human and ecological impact. Now, three environment-focused groups are collaborating to help regenerate oaks trees that suffered serious damage in the flames — and they need volunteers.

Oaks play a crucial role in preventing erosion and landslides, increasing water quality, and regulating water flow. Also, a wide variety of species from wood ducks, to rabbits, to wild turkey rely on acorns as a food source.
