The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority will help realize a $7.2 million fuels reduction grant in Mendocino County.
The state agency said a buy-out of existing contracts with logging companies is not a viable option.
The acquisition would safeguard the land from private development, protecting public access for local tribes and low-income residents.
A Cal Fire representative said timber operators accessed the Red Tail timber harvest plan from another entry point after activists blocked the road.
The legislation will transfer ownership to a non-profit consisting of the Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo, Round Valley Indian Tribes, and the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo.
