Life Insurance

Naming Save the Redwoods League in a life insurance policy that is no longer needed for family support or liquidity may be an excellent gift. Consult your tax advisor to see if this type of planning makes sense for you and your loved ones. Contact Sharon Rabichow, Major and Planned Gifts Associate, at legacy@savetheredwoods.org or (888) 836-0005 for more information.

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.
