ABOUT SAVE THE REDWOODS LEAGUE
Save the Redwoods League protects redwoods by negotiating transactions and purchasing forestland for permanent conservation stewardship. The League’s conservation vision entails accelerating the pace and scale of land conservation towards a mosaic of reserve land and working forests protecting old-growth, restoring watersheds of young forests to be the old growth of the future, and partnering in the management of sustainable working forests. Working forests, when managed responsibly and balanced with a growing landscape of restoration reserves, provide needed wood products and economic benefits while maintaining or improving the forest’s health. Our vision is to improve that balance; to double the portion of the remaining redwood forest that is protected as reserves in order to maximize the climate resilience, biodiversity, tribal engagement and community benefit of this globally unique ecosystem.
Emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, the League is embarking on a new chapter focused on the League’s commitment to and implementation of a DEI strategy, operationalizing best practices as the organization grows in impact and size, and thoughtfully carrying the organization through a period of change and transformation.
