Terra-Gen is proposing the development of a wind farm on Bear River Ridge and Monument Ridge above Scotia. The Humboldt Wind Project includes 47
turbines which would be built on the Russ Ranch, and on property owned by the Humboldt Redwood Company.
Birds which use the area include both golden and bald eagles as well as other raptors. Western meadowlark and other blackbirds, and sparrows, including dark-eyed juncos are also present in large numbers. Condors are likely to use the area once they are introduced in this area.
