Located in the Mendocino, California, the Willits Wood Improved Forest Management Program has transformed over 19,000 acres of land into responsibly managed forests from heavily forested lands. The trees protected include redwoods, Douglas fir, coastal oak, and montane hardwood. Forest management protects against soil erosion, runoff, and helps reverse degradation by building up soil organic carbon. This project is also verified under the California Air Resources Board.
