BOULDER CREEK — The Sempervirens Fund on Tuesday announced that the land trust recently purchased a 16.5-acre patch of forest adjacent to Big Basin Redwoods State Park known as the Sterrenzee Ridgetop. The ridgetop overlooks Big Basin to the west and Boulder Creek to the east, and is populated with second-growth redwoods and hardwoods, mostly untouched by the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fires. The Sterrenzee Ridgetop is located on the northern edge of the 153-acre property known as the Gateway to Big Basin, which the land trust acquired last year, and follows on the heels of its purchase in January of the 15-acre Saddle Mountain Vista property, which lies just south of the gateway.
