Friends of Gualala River Protecting the Gualala River watershed and the species living within it
HRRR = Harold Richardson Redwood Reserve
The 129-acre HRRR Timber Harvest Plan (THP 1-26-00099-SON) is located between Tin Barn Road and Haupt Creek in the Haupt Creek watershed of the Gualala River basin. The majority of the acreage (102 acres) is designated “fuel break / defensible space.” The plan was submitted to Cal Fire by the Save The Redwood League on July 22, 2026. After correcting errors and omissions, it was resubmitted on August 10, 2026.
Note: CalFire’s standard procedure is to print out the plan documents, scan them, and post the images to their publicly accessible database, CalTREES. As a result, it is impossible to search for text in the documents, because there are no words in the documents posted, only images of words. In order to make the documents more useful, whenever possible we have used optical character recognition (OCR) on the documents posted below, so that you can search them.
