............................................................................................... ABOUT REDWOOD EMPIRE CHAPTER
Our Mission The Redwood Empire Chapter's mission is to promote the design, construction and operation of buildings in Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt and Del Norte Counties that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live, work and learn.
What is the Redwood Empire? The Chapter is named for the coastal region of Northern California where the Coastal Redwood tree (sequoia sempervirens) is found. Roughly, the Redwood Empire extends along the Coastal Mountains from just north of San Francisco to the Oregon border. The Redwood Empire Chapter's territory includes: Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. See our map for details.
In addition to majestic Redwood forests, the region is known for its wine production, especially in Sonoma and Napa Counties. The coast along this stretch of California is some of the most beautiful on the West Coast. Agriculture is still predominant in most of the region, with much of the development along the Highway 101 corridor.
