The nonprofit hopes to raise $1 million to finalize a deal securing a conservation easement on the 3,862-acre ranch in Mendocino County.
Atkins Place is a “critical habitat corridor,” sharing a boundary with Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve.
The area will be renamed Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ, which means “fish run place.”
Save the Redwoods League announced Thursday it had secured an agreement to buy 5 square miles of undeveloped coastline in northern Mendocino County from timber company Soper-Wheeler, but the nonprofit will only be able to purchase the 3,181-acre property if it can raise the $36.9 million asking price by Dec. 31.
A $24.7 million conservation easement between Save the Redwoods League and the Mailliard family protects 15,000 acres of redwood forest in Anderson Valley.
