Sonoma County
The Cedars area is located forty minutes north of downtown Cazadero in Sonoma County. This area straddles the East Austin, Upper Austin Creek, and Gualala River Watersheds. The headwaters of Big Austin Creek and East Austin Creek, both tributaries to the Russian River, and tributaries to the Gualala River are located here. The Cedars area has a diverse geology that provides a foundation for the development of a mosaic of habitat types, flora, and fauna. It is one of the few places where the Earth’s mantle is exposed on land, which provides a special opportunity for study and observation of the processes that occur here. Preservation of lands within this area would protect water quality and the unique geology and living organisms abounding here.
