Forest restoration is essential to California’s future–for climate stability, fire resilience, wildlife conservation, clean water, and community well-being.
We foster a future for healthy, vibrant redwood forests, home to diverse plants and wildlife and ready to thrive for centuries to come. Our long-term goals include restoring 800,000 acres of previously harvested coast redwood forests and revitalizing thousands of acres of giant sequoia forests impacted or threatened by extreme wildfire.
We’re creating a brighter future for formerly logged forests in Redwood National & State Parks.
Together with the National Park Service and California State Parks, we’re healing the scars of industrial logging and creating resilient forests for the future. Across 70,000 acres, we’re reconnecting isolated old-growth groves, creating wildlife corridors, locking in carbon storage, and supporting a sustainable restoration economy.
Megafires have killed 17% of mature sequoias since 2015. We’re teaming up to defend these giants.
Save the Redwoods helps lead the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition, an alliance of sequoia land stewards working to shepherd vulnerable groves through unprecedented challenges. We’re bringing forest science, advocacy, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge to the fight to save giant sequoias.
Our apprentice programs help jump-start careers in science and natural resources management.
Apprentice programs in both the coast redwoods and giant sequoias provide college students with on-the-ground training in their chosen field, including botany, forestry, fire ecology, watershed restoration, aquatics, and ecological monitoring.
