1/19/21 -- The western hills above Ukiah have been 56 year old Dave Hull's stomping ground since he was a little kid. On free days, Hull and his friends would grab their bikes and adventure out into the open space together, exploring the land covered with golden grass and spotted with towering redwoods. As an adult, he bought a portion of that land which he had used as a giant playground as a child. And at the end of 2020, Hull donated 188 acres of that hillside land to the City of Ukiah, with the goal of preserving it for conservation and recreation forever.
