College Park Friends Educational Association, the holding corporation of Sierra Friends Center / “Woolman,” joyously announces that it has entered into escrow with California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project (CHIRP) with the intention of ethically transitioning the Woolman land and property to CHIRP for the benefit of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe, on whose ancestral homeland the Woolman property sits. We are excited about CHIRP’s vision for the Nisenan’s ancestral land, which includes youth programming.
As with any real estate agreement, there are contingencies to be resolved, and this may take several months. In the meantime, Woolman will continue to incur ongoing operating costs pending the land transition. CHIRP also seeks additional financial support for this new this historic land transfer.
