The Northcoast Regional Land Trust (NRLT) is thrilled to announce the forthcoming installation of additional benches along the Freshwater Nature Trail at our publicly accessible ambassador property, Freshwater Farms Reserve. This is thanks to a generous grant from the Eureka Rotary Club, presented to NRLT on December 4, 2023.

NRLT is grateful for the Eureka Rotary Club’s partnership and their dedication to community well-being, environmental stewardship, and local collaboration. The benches will be built by local craftsperson, Jona Kavanaugh, of Monument Settings and will serve as a place for visitors to rest, reflect, and appreciate the abundance of life in this wild and working landscape.

NRLT extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Eureka Rotary Club for their visionary support, to Monument Settings for their collaboration and craftsmanship, and to the community for collectively stewarding and valuing this and other projects at Freshwater Farms Reserve.

Freshwater Farms Reserve is a unique coastal property owned and managed by NRLT as a demonstration of compatible land use for people, agriculture, and wildlife. Used by people of all ages, Freshwater Farms Reserve is a community resource with trail access, educational programs and events, a native plant nursery, livestock pastures, row crop areas, greenhouses, and more. Visitors are encouraged to explore the 0.75-mile Freshwater Nature Trail, open every day from 9 AM to dusk at 5851 Myrtle Ave., Eureka.

Details regarding the installation of these benches will be announced in the coming year. For more information about NRLT and the upcoming bench installation, please visit www.NCRLT.org or contact info@ncrlt.org.
