Thanks to donations from generous members like you, Save the Redwoods League met matching gift challenges and raised the funds needed by December 31, 2014, to protect the breathtaking Peters Creek Old-Growth Forest and Boulder Creek Forest.
Doug and Joanne Schwartz, dedicated League members and volunteers, last summer served as our Redwood Explorers-in-Residence, exploring the northern parks and verifying grove maps. Along the way, they told the stories of the many interesting plants and animals they found.
Less than 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean and the town of Mendocino, a two-track dirt road leads into a rare example of two forest types contained in one magnificent location: a pygmy forest and an ancient redwood forest that faces logging and development.
