Shady Dell: Matching Gift Goal for Reached, Your Help Still Needed!
Because of your donations, Save the Redwoods League last month raised the funds to get a $300,000 matching gift that will help protect and restore Shady Dell, home of the magical redwood Enchanted Forest (pictured) and a mile of the remote Lost Coast. Thank you for your generosity! We still need your help to fund the purchase, restoration and stewardship of this property! Donate today. Your gift will make a difference. See how close we are to our overall fundraising goal.
A History of Conservation
The first memorial grove was established in honor of Colonel Raynal C. Bolling, commemorating the first American Army officer of high rank to fall in World War I. Pictured: Bolling Grove Dedication, 1921.
Plants in the Redwood Understory: Liverwort
Lunularia cruciata is a liverwort, one of the world's small plants. A relative of mosses, this plant hugs the ground as it grows horizontally on moist soil. This liverwort gets its name from the moon-shaped cups on the top of the plant (Lunularia for luna, or moon). These small cups (called gemmae), contain baby liverworts that get bounced out by raindrops and ricocheted to a new patch of ground to hopefully start growing.
