Pepperwood's 3,200-acre reserve serves as a refuge for over 900 species of plants and animals. Our dedicated team focuses on long-term ecological monitoring and generates essential scientific data that supports effective natural resource management and informed conservation planning in our region. Through engaging environmental education opportunities for all ages, we aim to inspire a deep-rooted ethic of conservation in the North Bay area, nurturing a love for the environment that can lead to a brighter future for all.

"Pepperwood's reserve lies within the traditional homeland of the Wappo people. We respect and honor past, present, and future generations of Wappo and their continued connection to this land. We are grateful for the opportunity to gather in this beautiful place and we give our respect to its first inhabitants."
