The Sanctuary Forest is a non-profit conservation land trust in the Mattole River headwaters on the northern California coast in the United States of America. The founders established the land trust in 1987^[1] to preserve a 2000-year-old redwood named "Big Red". The area also contains spawning grounds for Chinook salmon and steelhead in a tributary of the river.^[2]

Sanctuary Forest currently covers over 10,000 acres of forest, rivers, and wildlife corridors in California.^[3]
