The redwood forests, streams, and interconnected habitats of the Prairie Creek Watershed are many things to many people—the Yurok Tribe’s ancestral land, a former logging site, and now a restored ecosystem.
APA worked with Save the Redwoods League, the Yurok Tribe, and Redwood National and State Parks to tell the land’s unique story. Led by the Yurok Tribe, the restored redwood habitat integrates a pedestrian plaza and engaging outdoor interpretation. The interpretive pieces share the tale of the healing watershed, returning wildlife, and Yurok stewardship of this land. As visitors are immersed in stories about the interconnectedness of the land and Yurok culture, they can engage with audio stations to learn how to say key phrases in the Yurok language.
