Great Redwood Trail Agency Operations, Trail Development, and RestorationThe California State Coastal Conservancy has issued a notice of exemption to support grant funding for the Great Redwood Trail Agency through the Great Redwood Trail Agency Operations, Trail Development, and Restoration Project. This initiative will enable the agency to conduct essential operations, maintain existing right-of-way, and advance planning for environmental restoration and trail design along non-motorized trail segments in Mendocino, Trinity, and Humboldt counties. The project is focused on the development of appurtenant facilities necessary for public access and ecological preservation, ensuring sustainable trail expansion across Northern California. Funding will support long-term operational capacity and the foundational planning required for future trail construction and habitat restoration efforts. The project was posted on August 5, 2026, and is managed by the Coastal Conservancy with Hannah Bartee serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. While no solicitation number or NAICS code has been assigned, the initiative falls under the state agency’s commitment to coastal resource protection and recreation access. The place of performance is entirely within the state of California, specifically targeting the three Northern California counties where the Great Redwood Trail is being developed. All activities are exempt from formal environmental review under applicable regulations, streamlining the grant implementation process to accelerate trail planning and restoration work.
