Researchers use lasers to measure local redwoods’ carbon storage
onHow much carbon do coast redwood trees store? Researchers have shown that 3D models generated from light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) technology may provide accurate estimates.
Redwoods may offer bats a haven amid disease, rising temperatures
onBats are a top conservation priority. Not only are these fascinating mammals vulnerable to climate change, but many species around the world are also falling victim to a fungal disease called white-nose syndrome. New research funded by Save the Redwoods League suggests that coast redwood forests may offer bats refuge from both of these threats.
Programs reduce densities of birds preying on threatened marbled murrelets
onResearch funded by Save the Redwoods League suggests that programs designed to help reduce jay populations in areas where marbled murrelets nest, including old-growth coast redwood forests, will give these threatened seabirds a better chance at successful reproduction.
Study shows bats’ resilience after giant sequoia fire
onAnna Doty, PhD, led a study of California myotis bats in the South Fork region of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park following the SQF Complex fire.
Save the Redwoods League Announces Redwoods Research Starter Grants for Undergraduate and Graduate Students of Color
onSave 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.
Grants Fund Research on Wildfire, Wildlife and a Rare Plant in Coast Redwood and Giant Sequoia
onNearly $150,000 in research grants from Save the Redwoods League have been awarded as part of the 2018 grant cycle. Funding these projects is a significant component of fulfilling the League’s mission, and each of these projects will contribute to scientific knowledge of coast redwood and giant sequoia forests. This research can help us answer big questions that will protect the health of people, wildlife, and the forests.
Latest Research Grants Support Discoveries in Wildlife, Plants, Restoration
onMore than $200,000 in research grants from Save the Redwoods League in 2013 and 2014 will fund projects that will contribute to scientific knowledge of coast redwood and giant sequoia forests. This research can help us answer big questions that will protect the health of people, wildlife and redwood forests.
