SAN FRANCISCO-A San Francisco organization’s $1 million donation has donated enabled the Mendocino Land Trust to purchase more than 7,000 acres from a timber company logging redwoods on the site. Land trust officials say the purchase creates 60,000 acres of connected public lands and more than 100 miles of joined trails.

The land trust is arranging to purchase 7,334 acres of land in Mendocino County’s Big River estuary for $25.7 million from Hawthorne Timber of Oregon.
