Forever Forest: The Campaign for the Redwoods

For 100 years, Save the Redwoods League has stood between California’s iconic redwood trees, and the axe. We held the line, saving the last of the world’s ancient redwoods. Today, we’re poised to turn the tide; to shift from slowing degradation to advancing the regeneration of our redwood forests — with your help.

By dramatically scaling up our pace, reach, and impact, we’re changing California’s story, regaining the forests that we almost lost, welcoming visitors from around the world, and inspiring them to follow our lead. We have the experience, opportunity, and responsibility to act now.

When you support the Forever Forest Campaign, you’ll be investing in what matters most: the forests’ resilience, our leadership, our future. We need you with us, shoulder to shoulder, so we can return the world’s most iconic forests to the scale and grandeur they possessed before any of us were born. And when we succeed in doing so, we’ll leave the world better than we found it: JOIN US.

FUNDING THE VISION

Here is a financial breakdown of the $120 million Forever Forest Campaign. Every dollar goes directly into our programs to protect and restore redwood forests, and connect people to California’s most iconic landscapes.

THANKS TO OUR DONORS

As of January 2020, we have raised $80 million dollars toward the Forever Forest Campaign goal of $120 million, and leveraged $37 million in public funding to support our work

Together we have:
