Robust science is essential for making evidence-based decisions that help us achieve our conservation goals.
Advancing our understanding of forest ecology and sustainable land management is crucial to the health of California’s forests and communities. Since 1997, we have invested more than $12 million in research focused on issues that impact the redwoods, including wildfire resilience and climate change.
From the lab to the forest, we fund an array of research projects. Results help us understand the challenges facing redwood forests and develop more effective solutions.
Explore the latest scientific findings that inform long-term strategic action on the ground.
First-ever climb and inspection of the world’s largest living tree reveals health status.
Researchers ascended to the upper crown of the 275-foot-tall giant sequoia. Their mission: to visually inspect the ancient tree for signs of infestation by bark beetles—an emerging threat in the giant sequoias.
Explore projects where we’re expanding and applying our understanding of redwood ecosystems.
Our programs help jump-start careers in science and natural resources management.
We provide emerging scientists with opportunities to gain on-the-ground experience in their chosen field. This includes annual student starter grants and two-year forest fellowships, as well as support for apprentice programs in the coast redwoods and giant sequoias.
