The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. Save the Redwoods League is pleased to announce it is applying for accreditation renewal. A public comment period is now open.
The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, conducts an extensive review of each applicant’s policies and programs. The League takes the accreditation very seriously as it communicates to our larger community the highest level of professionalism and accountability.
The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how Save the Redwoods League complies with national quality standards. These standards address the ethical and technical operation of a land trust.
For the full list of standards see https://www.landtrustaccreditation.org/help-and-resources/indicator-practices.

I live in the East Coast states right near the Mills reservation which has a stunning view of NYC. Its’ a forested ridge. In Montclair NJ. (van Vlieck Gardens) there are two stunning Metasequoias. Dawn Redwood. (Metasequoia) grows well around here. It is cold tolerant also. Given that NYC is so close Mills Reservation is a popular spot for hiking near NYC. It’s in Cedar Grove, near the Montclair border. I am trying to arouse interest in this gorgeous tree, here. Its Chinese the phylogenetic parent of Coast redwoods, and smells the same. It’s good for mountain biking as its soft.

This species is not the “phylogenetic parent” of Coast Redwoods, but it is a close cousin, despite numerous significant differences.
