Welcome to the Weaverville Community Forest website.  The "Weaverville 1000", as it has been called, is the culmination of citizens' continuing efforts to protect their viewshed on the southwest side of town.  What started as a protest against a proposed land exchange between BLM and a private timber company has evolved into a proposed Stewardship Contract between the RCD and BLM.  This significant development has allowed the community to reiterate its desires for the community forest, has provided a local entity (the RCD) to provide a bridge between the community and the BLM, and lets revenue generated from forest health activities be used for other forest projects.  Stewardship contracting has the potential to realize community goals and actions, while retaining the land in BLM stewardship.
