Big Basin Redwoods State Park General Plan Amendment
This document is a Public Draft of the Big Basin Redwoods State Park General Plan Amendment, which updates the May 2013 General Plan. The amendment is prompted by the extensive damage caused by the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex Fire and is guided by the Reimagining Big Basin Vision Summary (2022), the Cornerstone Document (2023), and the Big Basin Facilities Management Plan (2025). It incorporates specific site recommendations for rebuilding and future development across key park areas. Strategic priorities include developing new overnight camping and related facilities at Lower Sky Meadow; establishing various camping options and facilities at Upper Sky Meadow; proposing staff housing and operational areas at Saddle Mountain; and creating a mixed Tribal use area with a cultural center and staff housing at Little Basin. The amendment also addresses the inclusion of future acquisition parcels around Saddle Mountain.

State Historical Resources Commission Workshop
The workshop focused on multiple property documentation, a tool used to create a baseline for nominations. Discussions covered the purpose and components of the documentation form, emphasizing that it is not a nomination itself but rather cover documentation that needs to be accompanied by at least one nomination. The workshop also addressed the differences between a multiple property documentation form and a national register nomination, including historic contexts and property types.
