Learning the Land: Episode 6 - Welcome to Byrne-Milliron Forest


Listen Later

Well, hey there, Land Trust Listeners! In today's episode, we're trying something new and exploring the history of one of our most beloved properties - Byrne-Milliron Forest.  We're joined by former Land Trust Stewardship Manager (and unofficial Byrne historian) Lynn Overtree to learn more about the property's fascinating history.

About Byrne-Milliron Forest: This magical, 400-acre wood was one of the Land Trust's first public access properties. Located in Corralitos, the forest is a lovely place to hike and explore, with panoramic views of the Pajaro Valley and Monterey Bay and a 1,000-year-old, 250-foot tall “Great White” redwood. But Byrne is more than a destination - it is also a working forest - an example of how sustainable selective timber harvesting can actually sequester more carbon and generate revenue to help offset the cost of maintaining the property.
