Save the Redwoods League tracked climate change impacts on the redwood forest with the help of community scientists.

Through our community science programs, Redwood Watch and Fern Watch, many members, scientists,  and volunteers helped us study where redwood forest plants and animals live throughout the redwood range, and track changes in the forest over time by making simple observations and sharing the data you collect. These data helped Save the Redwoods League decide where and how to focus redwood conservation activities in a changing environment.
