On May 10, 2012 after weeks of preparation and integrated classroom curriculum, Six Rivers Charter School sophomores went to the 74-acre Freshwater Farms Reserve to participate in a field day. Part of NRLT's Biological Monitoring program, each year students collect data regarding the hydrology, soil chemistry, water quality, botany, and wildlife of the restored property.

Landowners of the 1,622-acre Miller Forest property, located five miles west of Willow Creek, have completed a conservation easement protecting productive forest land and critical ecological resources in perpetuity. The conservation easement was granted to NRLT to ensure that the property will remain undivided and that the economic potential for commercial forestry will be conserved.
