Redwood Ed is published by Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods and California State Parks. Redwood Ed was funded in part by the League’s Education Grants Program.

Note: The views and opinions expressed in Redwood Ed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Save the Redwoods League.

For more than 90 years, Save the Redwoods League has been dedicated to protecting the ancient redwood forests so all generations can experience the inspiration and majesty of redwoods. In 1850, there were nearly 2 million acres of ancient coast redwood forests in California. Today, less than 5 percent remains and faces threats from unsustainable logging practices, poorly planned development and global climate change. Since its founding in 1918, the League has completed the purchase of more than 189,000 acres of land.
