SAVE THE REDWOODS LEAGUE

In 2018, Save the Redwoods League celebrates a century of protecting, restoring and connecting people to magnificent redwood forests. The League is embarking on a Centennial Vision that will double the size of the protected redwood reserve over the next 100 years — protecting more of the primeval forests and putting young redwoods on the path to becoming magnificent old-growth stands.

By taking bold steps today, we can return redwood forests to the scale and beauty that existed before any of us were born — protected forever, restored to grow old again and connected to people through a network of parks and reserves that inspire all of us with the beauty and power of nature. A new chapter for redwoods begins today. By standing for the redwoods, you stand for the future. Join us!

--By purchasing land and conservation easements, accelerate redwood forest conservation on a large (landscape) scale, and secure protection of remaining old-growth coast redwood and giant sequoia.
--Advance ecological forestry conservation easements on working forests.
--Leverage science to set new standards for redwood forest stewardship.
--Identify ecological restoration priorities across the redwood range.
--Implement landscape-scale restoration projects to accelerate old-growth forest conditions.
--Transform public access and interpretation in the redwood parks to inspire visitation and attract new audiences.
--Create signature redwood destinations in select geographies.
--Strategically upgrade recreational, educational, and interpretive infrastructure in existing parks.
--Raise awareness and understanding of redwood forests through marketing redwood parks and partnering with schools and environmental education centers to develop and implement redwood-focused programming.

One of the nation's oldest conservation organizations, Save the Redwoods League since 1918 has protected more than 214,000 acres of redwood forests and helped create 66 redwood parks and reserves by purchasing redwood forests and the surrounding land needed to nurture them. We have pioneered innovative, science-based forest-restoration work and touched the lives of millions of people by connecting them to nature.

What sets Save the Redwoods League apart from other organizations is our commitment to investing in science, research, technology and tools development that will accelerate our ability to heal redwood forests. Through research, we are gaining a better understanding of how individual redwood groves interact with the greater redwood landscape and how to apply best practices in land and forest management.

Save the Redwoods League since 1918 has protected more than 214,000 acres of redwood forests and supporting land and helped create 66 redwood parks and reserves by purchasing redwood forests and the surrounding land needed to nurture them.

We have pioneered science-based forest-restoration work, setting more than 4,500 acres of historically logged forestland on the path to become ancient forests for future generations.

Our pioneering Redwoods and Climate Change Initiative revealed that old-growth redwood forests store more carbon per acre than any other type of forest, confirming that they are critical resource in fighting climate change. This initiative’s findings are enabling us to better protect the redwoods in the future. Our research grants program is yielding discoveries about redwoods’ genetics and the diversity of forest wildlife.

Our education and parks-support programs have touched the lives of millions of people by connecting them to nature.
