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 public trails to connect with the California Coastal Trail and perhaps be a gateway to a more extended Gualala River Park with more 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. 12644 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. We added stairs and waterbars and new sign and fencing in 2019. 1476 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. 54509 true true false 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 false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 0 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 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 Christina Batt President 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Walton Vice President 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joel Chaban Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Rutemoeller Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robin Applegarth Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Chasey Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Cochrane Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ken Fischer Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cheryl Harris Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kay Martin Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Trish Miller Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Nybakken Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 83774 83774 2854 2854 86628 2854 0 0 Mill Bend 40389 40389 Gualala Bluff Trail 3846 3846 Cooks Beach 8798 8798 Cons Easement and other 1476 1476 3568 1939 1629 58077 54509 1939 1629 87707 113451 62555 78968 1062553 1062553 1212815 1254972 0 0 X 1062553 1062553 150262 192419 1212815 1254972 1212815 1254972 28551 13606 0 X false false false X 47181 28314 35705 49061 83774 244035 47181 28314 35705 49061 83774 244035 9470 234565 1143 1240 1434 2039 2854 8710 252745 0.92810 0.96630 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X 2 5.00 1 true 10.00 527 true 62555 1250 15163 78968 64234 1150 -2829 62555 53300 200 10734 64234 48649 1060 3591 53300 48942 675 -968 48649 1.00000 false false Conserved Land 1062553 C 1062553 Easement policy or policies (Part II, line 5) RCLC has adopted policies for Conservation Easements (CE) based upon recommended Land Trust Alliance documents.
