Grants foster equitable access, meaningful connections, and deeper understanding of the redwood forest
Supporters of the League tell us stories all the time of why the redwoods are so special to them. Undoubtingly it stems from a personal experience among the trees—either camping when they were young, exploring on a class trip, or hiking with friends. Feeling the cool, moist air while inside a redwood forest is something you have to experience firsthand.
A single school field trip or outdoor family experience can have a lasting impact on youth at any age. That is why the League makes it a priority to connect youth to the redwoods through our Redwood Connect Grants, so they can experience and study these awe-inspiring forests.
This year we are excited to announce the 2022 redwood grantees and look forward to hearing more about their outings in the redwoods. Our grant recipients come from throughout the redwood and sequoia ranges and support a variety of experiences in the redwoods including team building, health and wellness, redwood ecology, and stewardship and conservation.
