Thanks for making Giving TREESday a success

Over 700 generous donors helped us cross the finish line to hit our Giving TREESday goal to raise $50,000. Those funds, matched by the Bently Foundation, will go directly to help purchase Alder Creek, the world’s last significant unprotected giant sequoia property!

This Giving TREESday was truly unique. With a guest appearance from the Stagg Tree, the fifth largest tree in the world, and wonderful press coverage including a shout out in Sunset Magazine, we are so grateful for the outpouring of support.

The Bently Foundation is so inspired by the response to Giving TREESday that they have agreed to continuing matching all new gifts to Alder Creek up to a total of $250,000! If you missed our Giving TREESday campaign, there is still time to have your gift matched and help us achieve the goal of purchasing Alder Creek by December 31st.

Thank you to everyone who is helping to safeguard one of the world’s irreplaceable treasures: beautiful Alder Creek.
