| Dear Jack, |
| We are excited to share with you a big announcement about our important work in Mendocino County. Today we’re launching the Montgomery Woods Initiative with the completed purchase of the 453-acre Atkins Place and are breaking ground on improvements to the adjacent Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve with our partners at California State Parks. |

|
The Atkins Place purchase builds on a legacy of investment in the protection of Mendocino County redwoods dating back to 1947 that has protected more than 37,500 acres. The League envisions that Atkins Place will eventually be added to the adjacent Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve. Improvements to the park—an incredibly beautiful landscape of old-growth redwoods tucked into a canyon northeast of Ukiah—will include new and upgraded trails, a new bridge and other visitor amenities.
Learn more about this terrific initiative. |

League donors stepped up earlier this year to support the purchase of Atkins Place and are now invited to join us to help raise the remaining $1 million needed to realize our vision for Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve. Proceeds from the League’s annual fundraising event Take Me to the Trees, scheduled for October 22, 2022 in San Francisco, will be directed to park improvements for this beloved old growth redwood reserve.
