You Helped Reach Halfway Milestone

Thanks to generous redwoods enthusiasts like you, Save the Redwoods League has raised $4 million—half the funds needed—to purchase and protect some of the most magnificent old-growth redwood forest still left in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains (pictured). You can help raise the remainder by donating today. In quick property sales like this, we can’t afford to wait for donations. We know we can count on donors like you.
