2025 Edition

Redwoods Magazine 2025

Welcome to the 2025 edition of Redwoods magazine

Protecting the redwoods means preserving magnificent forests for future generations. It also means real benefits in the here and now—ecological, economic, social, recreational.

Our latest issue of Redwoods explores these positive outcomes in places like California’s remote North Coast, where forest restoration work is creating good jobs and strengthening rural communities. We also take you to the Sierra Nevada, where boots-on-the-ground efforts are building fire resilience in the ancient sequoia groves. Plus we dive into 10 redwood parks on the San Francisco Peninsula that offer a soul-restoring escape into nature. And much, much more.

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