WELCOME TO THE HEADWATERS MURRELET PROJECT PAGE

The Headwaters Murrelet Project is a scientific study of the Marbled Murrelet in northern California. The federal and California governments, and the Pacific Lumber Company have proposed a transfer of lands and assets. The Headwaters Forest Complex, which includes large stands of approximetly 7,500 acre old-growth Redwood forest, will be transferred to public ownership as part of the proposed exchange. This study will examine the effect of the proposed land transfer on the conservation and continued survival of the Murrelet.
On these pages you will find details of the proposed transfer, of the scientists carrying out the study, and the latest scientific results. We are committed to making our results as readily available as possible. New data will be posted here on a regular basis, as the analyses proceed.
