Save the Redwoods League today announced Redwoods Research Starter Grants of up to $5,000 for undergraduate and graduate students of color interested in research in coast redwood and giant sequoia forests. Proposals are due December 1, 2020.
Save the Redwoods League announced the purchase of Andersonia West, a 523-acre property in the remote northern California area known as “the Lost Coast.” The newly acquired property protects 200 acres of old-growth coast redwoods and imperiled species habitat.
Save the Redwoods League, the National Park Service and California State Parks today announced the next steps in on-the-ground restoration work by Redwoods Rising, a large-scale forest restoration partnership underway in Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP). Beginning next week, Redwoods Rising crews will work in two watersheds within the park boundaries—representing a significant milestone for this long-term forest health initiative and bringing forestry jobs to this northern California region.
Policymakers in California and all over the world are exploring the potential of natural solutions to the climate change crisis, particularly the role forests play in storing carbon in their wood as they grow. Recent findings bolster research confirming massive carbon storage in old-growth redwood forests and potential of younger, previously logged forests.
The League presents “Take Me to the Trees,” the second-annual celebration event. It will take place at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 12, 2019, under the redwoods in the National AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park.
