Hikes featured forests where the League is making a conservation impact
Over the last few months, Save the Redwoods League was thrilled to welcome members of the Redwood Leadership Circle, Canopy Club, and Redwood Legacy Circle into the forest for a series of guided hikes throughout the redwood range.
Throughout the Redwood Hike Series, we visited some of our recent projects with conservation, fire, and redwood experts:
Redwood National and State Parks
Redwood National Park: Participants enjoyed a 4-mile hike from the famous Lady Bird Johnson Grove into Save the Redwoods League’s Orick Mill Site. The League is closely collaborating with the National Park Service, California State Parks, the Yurok Tribe, California Trout and the State Coastal Conservancy to establish a new redwood destination as well as restore the critical ecological integrity of Prairie Creek.
Hendy Woods State Park
Members of the Canopy Club were guided on a hike through the Hendy Woods old growth grove led by President and CEO Sam Hodder. Following the hike, Board Member John Scharffenberger hosted the annual Canopy Club celebration in the garden of his home in Philo.
Big Basin Redwoods State Park
California State Parks welcomed League members to get a first-hand look at how Big Basin Redwoods State Park is recovering after the CZU Complex fire burned through this iconic California Redwood Park in 2020. Participants had the chance to visit areas of the park that are still closed to the public. The group learned all about the work underway to restore the forest and reintroduce visitor access.
Harold Richardson Redwoods Reserve
For the first time since purchasing the property in 2018, Save the Redwoods League welcomed members of the Redwood Leadership Circle, Canopy Club and Redwood Legacy Circle to experience this special redwood destination before it opens to the public. Harold Richardson Redwoods Reserve is home to 730 acres of pristine forest with some of the tallest and oldest redwoods in the southern range.
We couldn’t do this work without the generous support of donors like you. We look forward to continuing to offer these special redwood visits next year!
