The Ahmed Estate

Our restoration efforts for the Jacoby Creek is a grass-roots operation made from the culmination of many private in-stream landowners of the Jacoby Creek. Together, we hold over a mile of vital creek habitat ready for rehabilitation.

We collaborate with the local native tribes of the regions, including the Karuk Nation, the Yurok Tribe, and the Wiyot Tribe.

Local Non-Profits such as the Lost Coast Native Food Nursery and the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center are partners of ours for protecting and nourishing the wildlife and native species of North Pacific Coast. Recently, we have also gained interest from the Eel River Watershed Improvement Group for assisting us with our restoration efforts for the Endangered Jacoby Creek Habitats.

The Ahmed Estate has been significant contributors to the White House's National Nature Assessment and Invest in Nature Call to Action, contributing over 1000 pages of documents for pioneering better relationships between humanity and the Kingdoms of Nature; including recommendations for establishing a Nature-Based Education System, Eco-Village and Eco-City Infrastructure designs, Next Generation Forest Management Systems, developing the City of Arcata into a prototype model for next generation Festival Eco-Cities, the creation of the National Microbial Space Administration (to operate as a counter-balance to NASA), and much more. 

The City of Arata owns over 600 acres of Forest in the Jacoby Creek Watershed and is a neighbor of the Ahmed Estate. They proclaim to care deeply about the ecosystem but have consistently operated as the biggest detrimental factors to the restoration of these habitats. They have consistently operated in extreme hostility to any restoration efforts for the Jacoby Creek because it would interfere with their capacities for timber harvesting from these endangered habitats.

The California Fish and Wildlife have consistently operated in hostility and animosity towards the private landowners of the Jacoby Creek's restoration efforts for the watershed. They are actively violating the guidelines and instructions they have been given for Watershed Restoration Guidelines. Inside the Steelhead Restoration and Management Plan for California, it states that restoration of already degraded habitats is no substitute for the preservation and restoration of endangered habitats. District Biologist Collin Anderson has chosen to deny any level of support or access to state resources for restoration of the Jacoby Creek Watershed on the pretense that they are already doing restoration in the "lower Jacoby Creek Watershed", which is in actuality the Arcata Marsh, a section of land not even part of the Jacoby Creek Forest and used to operate as a dumping site for the City of Arcata. CDFW District Biologist Collin Anderson states that because they are restoring the Arcata Marsh, they do not need to offer any support for the restoration of the endangered Jacoby Creek Forest Watershed Habitats, a vital region of the Coho Salmon and Steelhead Trout spawning grounds.

40 years ago, the Jacoby Creek used to operate as a thriving wild fishery with salmon 3+ foot long flooding through the creek every year. Old timers from the region consistently remark that there would be so many salmon flooding through the creek that they could "walk over it" during the winter season. Within the past 40 years, the Jacoby Creek Watershed had declined from a thriving wildlife fishery ecosystem into an endangered habitats boarding along the brink of complete extinction. This is due to 2 main factors. 

1. For the past 40 years, a group of old timers have been going to the City of Arcata's Jacoby Creek Tract Property (a property closed to public use due to the highly endangered habitats) and have been chopping down the trees that fall into the creek, which create the salmon spawning grounds, so they can speed up the rapids for recreational kayaking. The City of Arcata Enironmental staff have been turning the other cheek to these illegal activities because the people doing this are their friends. This has resulted in them also chopping down creek habitat on neighboring private landowners of the Arcata.

2. For the past 40 years, a non-instream community has been illegally siphoning water from the Jacoby Creek on the City of Arcata's property and have been distributing this water for their community use and for their commercial use, particularly to sell and distribute ganja. They City of Arcata has turned the other cheek because some of the individuals doing this are their friends. 

Congressman Jerad Huffman's Office has been informed of the restoration efforts of the Jacoby Creek Community for over a year. His office stated they would get back to us to offer their assistance and never do. It is because of the Congressman's intentional negligence that the State of California reached a breaking point in the Salmon populations in which for the first time in state history, no salmon harvesting was allowed due to how dire a state the habitats had been reduced to. Simultaneously, the Congressman has been refusing to assist those communities and groups actively doing all we can for the restoration of these habitats and have refused to do an investigation into the California Fish and Wildlife due to a misappropriation of funds that were allocate to them for offering to private landowners for instream restoration yet have not been accessible to us.
