This parcel extends along both sides of Hwy 1 at the southern end of the town of Gualala and includes a quiet lagoon, historical landmarks and important habitat for steelhead trout, bald eagle, river otter and other wildlife. The project will protect wetlands and also restore an old mill site to a more natural state. This will be supported by several community groups and provide some public trails to connect with the California Coastal Trail and perhaps be a gateway to a more extended Gualala River Park with public trails going 7 miles up the river. This is a major new project that will benefit the local community and become the gateway to a possible Gualala River Park. We were able acquire the Mill Bend property in January 2021 with help from grants from US Fish and Wildlife and California Coastal Conservancy funds. 5457 Public access lands and conservation easements. Hearn Gulch Headlands and Beach was acquired in 2001 and 2005. The property is 5 plus acres in five parcels, just south of Schooner Gulch State Beach on the ocean side of Highway 1. It provides coastal views and public access to a beautiful pocket beach and also has rare species of wildflowers. The California Coastal Conservancy provided the majority of funds. The California Native Plant Society and The Community Foundation of Mendocino County also provided funds for acquisition and improvements. New signage and trail improvements were added in 2008 and 2009 and we held a grand opening in May 2010. We maintain the beach trail and other trails and also periodically remove invasive weeds. We are planning to acquire an adjacent parcel to the north to allow a new 1 mile segment of the coastal trail. 2293 Gualala Bluff Trail (GBT)and Cooks Beach public access (CB) The initial phase of the public access Gualala Bluff trail was created in 1998. In 2004 RCLC received coastal development and building permits for phase 2 to continue the trail south another 700 feet. The Bluff top trail overlooks the mouth of the Gualala River Estuary and Beach and is centrally located in the commercial area of Gualala. We have many volunteers monitoring and maintaining it. Cooks Beach: In 2003 we accepted a public access easement to Cooks Beach and a viewing area on the bluff above it. In 2008 and 2009 we improved the trail and a new concrete stairway to Cooks beach was constructed. The new trail and stairway were dedicated in April 2010.Volunteers maintain this trail. 149471 true true false false false true false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true true false CA X X Bob Rutemoeller EA 7078844426 37230 Church St Box 1511 Gualala CA 95445 X Cheryl Harris Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ken Fischer Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kay Martin Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Nybakken Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Trish Miller Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robin Applegarth Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Walton Vice President 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Christina Batt President 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Rutemoeller Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joel Chaban Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 35000 474212 63713 509212 10599 10599 519811 10599 0 0 9511 9511 1465 1465 352 352 3127 2502 313 312 Mill Bend 128243 128243 Gualala BT & Cooks Beach 2293 2293 Hearn Gulch & Cons Easemnts 5457 5457 Dues & Pubs 1999 1999 5572 799 4773 158019 149471 3111 5437 113451 463677 78968 87187 1062553 1062553 1254972 1613417 0 0 X 1062553 1062553 192419 550864 1254972 1613417 1254972 1613417 361792 -3347 0 X false false false X 28314 35705 49061 83774 509212 706066 28314 35705 49061 83774 509212 706066 122022 584044 1240 1434 2039 2854 1550 9117 715183 0.81660 0.92810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X 2 5.00 1 true 6.00 true 78968 500 7719 87187 62555 1250 15163 78968 64234 1150 -2829 62555 53300 200 10734 64234 48649 1060 3591 53300 1.00000 false false Conserved Land 1062553 C 1062553 X 13 63713 false true false Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Copy of 990 provided to Directors for review.
