The Galbreath Wildlands Preserve is a nature reserve in Mendocino County, California established in 2004 in honor of Fred Burckhalter Galbreath (1901-2000). The preserve, a former sheep ranch, is located near Yorkville, California. ==History== Galbreath worked in the marine insurance business in San Francisco for many years. In 1944, he purchased property in southern Mendocino County as a working sheep ranch and undertook projects to improve the health of habitats on the property. He reduced sedimentation by undertaking drainage improvement projects, removed the invasive wild boars through hunting, and engaged in selective forestry to reduce downed woody debris and remove old and diseased trees. Galbreath sought to protect his land in perpetuity as a site for higher education. After he died at the age of 98 in April 2000, Fred Galbreath's family Bob and Sue Johnson and Nancy and Kleve Johnson, donated the property to Sonoma State University as a teaching and research site.
