Twenty-four years of breaking down barriers to provide equitable access to our redwood forests
Once again the League is excited to announce the recipients of the 2023 redwood connect grants who will bring almost 2,000 students out to a redwood forest this spring and summer. These 16 organizations span the redwood and giant sequoia range and serve youth from elementary age to young adult. The grant money will support a variety of experiences in the redwoods including team building, health and wellness, redwood ecology, and stewardship and conservation.
