REDWOODS Autumn/Winter 2021

Magazine published twice a year by Save the Redwoods League

Redwoods Magazine Winter 2021

RETURNING EDITION

Welcome to select features from the Returning Edition of Redwoods.

Although the pandemic has slowed our return to normal, we can take cues from the re-emerging growth and find hope after wildfires in the redwoods. We invite you to plan your return or first visit to Redwood National and State Parks, and relish breathtaking images. We also demystify prescribed fires, which will reinstate fire resilience in the California landscape. And in the homestretch of our Forever Forest Campaign, League leaders reflect on key projects to protect, restore, and connect everyone to redwood forests, and bring back traditional tribal knowledge. Come along as we create a better future in the world to which we will ultimately return.

Join our thousands of members today for only $25, and you’ll get future editions of our Redwoods magazine.
