Services Offered by the Mattole Restoration Council



The Mattole Restoration Council offers several services to landowners and residents of the Mattole watershed. Often, it is difficult for private individuals to pay for reforestation, road upgrades, or cartographic services. We offer services such as these to landowners for free or at-cost:

Resource Center: The Mattole Watershed Resource Center offers landowners and residents up-to-date information on land management, sustainable forestry and grazing, and restoration techniques, as well as a library of maps, aerial photographs, and information on specific tributaries. Office hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 10am-3pm or by appointment. For more information, please email us at resourcecenter@mattole.org

Geographic Information System (GIS): Through our GIS program, MRC offers customized maps of any location within the Mattole watershed. We can include roads, vegetation, aerial photographs, old-growth forests, creeks and much more. Maps are made to order in 2-3 weeks, and can be produced for as little as $20-$30. For more information, please email us at gis@mattole.org

Reforestation: MRC offers native Douglas-fir planting on previously forested private lands, from 1,000 to 30,000 trees, at no cost to the landowner. In addition, we can offer advice on appropriate species and planting techniques.

Forest Practices Review: The Forest Practice Review Program analyzes each Timber Harvest Plan filed in the Mattole watershed, and provides this information to residents. MRC also encourages California residents to write a letter urging the protection of old-growth forests in the Mattole watershed. For more information, please email us at forestprac@mattole.org

Good Roads, Clear Creeks: The Good Roads, Clear Creeks program helps landowners identify and fix erosion problems, especially those related to roads. For more information, please email us at goodroads@mattole.org

Mattole Ecological Education Program (MEEP): MEEP provides ecological education and teacher assistance in all Mattole watershed public schools. We also have educational materials available for home schooled students within the Mattole watershed. For more information, please email us at drew@mattole.org

We make every effort to assist landowners in sustainable management of their lands for the economic and ecological health of the Mattole watershed. If there is a service or product that you think would be useful, please give us a call at (707) 629-3514.
