MAJOR LAND ACQUISITIONS

Thanks to our community of more than 21,000 members, Save the Redwoods League has saved these redwood forests.

We negotiated the purchase of the 25,000-acre Mill Creek forest, now part of Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, protecting the watershed that supports some of the most spectacular ancient groves left - those of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

We transferred 216 acres to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) improving protection for the Mattole River watershed and our 11,856-acre wildlife Corridor from the Redwoods to the Sea project between Humboldt Redwoods State Park (HRSP), Gilham Butte Late Seral Reserve and the King Range National Conservation Area. Most of this Corridor land has been transferred to the BLM for protection; other portions will be donated to expand Humboldt Redwoods State Park, and some will remain in private hands. All land protected by the Save the Redwoods is subject to permanent use limitations.

We more than doubled Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve, with the purchase of 1,200 acres. Montgomery Woods is home to one of the world's tallest trees. We helped create the Reserve in 1945.

We transferred Dillonwood Grove, 1,540 acres containing the largest grove of privately owned giant sequoias, to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

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 beings.
