Westport Headlands

In 1998, the Westport Village Society asked Mendocino Land Trust to assist in the protection of the eight-acre Westport headlands. The property, which was approved for subdivision into six lots, had been historically used for community events and in many ways defined the villagers’ sense of place. Over a two-year period, the Westport Village Society, the Coastal Conservancy and Mendocino Land Trust secured the funding to purchase the land. The property is now owned by the Westport Village Society, which is managing the property for the public.
