Our Objectives

Since 1918, Save the Redwoods League has saved ancient redwood forests and redwood ecosystems to ensure that current and future generations can feel the awe and peace that these precious natural wonders inspire. We also save redwoods because they are rare — their natural range is only in central and northern California and southern Oregon — and because they are Earth’s tallest and some of the oldest and most massive living things.

With our members' and partners' support, we have protected more than 181,000 acres and helped develop 59 redwood parks and reserves for everybody to enjoy.

These are our objectives:

1. To rescue from destruction representative areas of our primeval forests.
2. To cooperate with California State Parks, the National Park Service, and other agencies, in establishing redwood parks and other parks and reserves.
3. To purchase redwood groves by private subscription.
4. To foster and encourage a better and more general understanding of the value of primeval redwood or giant sequoia and other forests of America as natural objects of extraordinary interest to present and future generations.
5. To support reforestation and conservation of our forest areas.
