A bear was recently spotted at the Elk Meadow Day Use/Picnic Area, a great reminder of the wildlife that lives in Yurok Country! While it’s exciting to see bears and elk in their natural habitat, it’s important to remember that they are wild animals.For your safety and to protect our wildlife, always view these animals from a safe distance, do not approach them, and stay in your vehicle if you encounter them up close. Observing these simple rules helps keep our wildlife wild!#YurokCountry #AdventureAwaits #ExploreOutdoors #visityurokcountry #visitcalifornia #redwoodnationalandstateparks #californiaredwoods #redwoods #redwoodsnationalpark #californiaadventure

This Earth Day 🌎, we reflect on the importance of stewardship and the healing of Earth. As we celebrate our heritage and our land, we’re reminded of the responsibility we carry—to nurture and protect the environment that gives us life.Our recent partnership with the National Park Service marks a historic step towards reclaiming a part of our ancestral land, a gateway to the Redwood National and State Parks. This collaboration embodies our shared commitment to stewardship, allowing us to manage tribal land for the first time since the Gold Rush era stripped us of 90% of Yurok territory.As we work towards the full removal of the dams and the restoration of the Klamath River, we are not just reviving the land and water; we are healing the soul of our community, ensuring our culture’s prosperity for generations to come. Together, we are changing the narrative of how natural lands are stewarded. It’s a journey towards rejuvenation, resilience, and a deeper connection to the culture and traditions that have made us who we are. #EarthDay #visityurokcountry #visitcalifornia #redwoodnationalandstateparks #californiaredwoods #pnwonderland #redwoods #redwoodsnationalpark #californiaadventure

Did you know that when a redwood tree has been hollowed out due to a fire it’s called a Goose Pen? In the past, farmers even used these trees to corral their livestock during harsh weather. These hollowed-out giants offer a unique glimpse into the redwood forest’s history and resilience. Despite their hollowed trunks, these trees can continue to thrive, standing as a testament to nature’s enduring strength. 📍 Next time you come across one of these wonders, look up—and see the sky peeking through its canopy.
