The project's first phase will create a 1200-acre community forest for Humboldt County-a revenue-generating open space for county residents that also celebrates the county's working forest heritage with interpretive trails explaining forestry principles and forest ecology. The second and third phases of the project will place working forest conservation easements on the property's remaining 6,350 acres. Plans call for construction of a recreational trail on the Ryan Creek property that would connect the shores of Humboldt Bay to the Headwaters Forest Preserve's old growth redwood groves.
