SAVE THE REDWOODS LEAGUE PROTECTS AND RESTORES REDWOOD FORESTS AND CONNECTS PEOPLE WITH THEIR PEACE AND BEAUTY SO THESE WONDERS OF THE NATURAL WORLD FLOURISH.
THE LEAGUE PROTECTS AND RESTORES REDWOOD FORESTS AND CONNECTS PEOPLE WITH THESE NATURAL WONDERS.
WE PROTECT REDWOOD FORESTLAND THROUGH FEE ACQUISITION AND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, SUPPORTED BY OUR SCIENCE-BASED VIBRANT FOREST PLAN AND OTHER TOOLS. ACQUISITION OF 530-ACRE ALDER CREEK SECURES PROTECTION FOR THE WORLD'S LARGEST REMAINING PRIVATELY-OWNED GIANT SEQUOIA PROPERTY. THE LEAGUE WILL OWN IT FOR FIVE TO TEN YEARS BEFORE INCORPORATING IT INTO THE GIANT SEQUOIA NATIONAL MONUMENT. FEE ACQUISITION OF THE MISTIER AND NESSET PROPERTIES ALONG FRESHWATER RIDGE, WHICH SEPARATES REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK AND HUMBOLDT LAGOONS STATE PARK, COMBINED WITH THE NEARBY LEAGUE-HELD BATHHURST AND MILLER PROPERTIES, SECURES A 90-ACRE NATURAL CORRIDOR, SAFEGUARDING MIXED-CONIFER FOREST AND WILDLIFE HABITAT. THESE FOUR PROPERTIES WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO REDWOOD NATIONAL AND STATE PARK.
WE RESTORE YOUNG, RECOVERING REDWOOD FORESTS THROUGH ACTIVE FOREST STEWARDSHIP AND CONTINUE TO RESEARCH BEST PRACTICES FOR RESTORATION FORESTRY. OUR REDWOODS RISING INITIATIVE WITH REDWOOD NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS RECENTLY BEGAN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE, AND HAS ALREADY CONDUCTED RESTORATION THINNING ON 150 ACRES OF SECOND-GROWTH FORESTS AND REMOVED ONE MILE OF ROADWAY. THE LEAGUE ALSO MANAGED PRESCRIBED BURNS IN THE MATTOLE WATERSHED IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY, ON OUR BEAVER CREEK PROPERTY IN THE SIERRA NEVADA, OUR BIG RIVER MENDOCINO OLD-GROWTH REDWOODS PROPERTY AND AT SAN VICENTE REDWOODS IN THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS. OUR REDWOODS AND CLIMATE CHANGE INITIATIVE CONFIRMED THE EXCEPTIONAL CARBON STORAGE CAPACITY OF REDWOOD FORESTS, INCLUDING RAPIDLY RECOVERING SECOND-GROWTH FORESTS.
WE CONNECT PEOPLE TO THE PEACE AND BEAUTY OF THE CALIFORNIA REDWOODS. THE LEAGUE STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON A WALKWAY AT THE GROVE OF TITANS IN JEDEDIAH SMITH REDWOODS STATE PARK; CONTINUED RENOVATION OF THE BIG BASIN NATURE MUSEUM AND RESEARCH CENTER; NEARED COMPLETION OF THE PFEIFFER FALLS TRAIL IN PFEIFFER BIG SUR STATE PARK; AND RENOVATED THE GARDEN CLUB OF AMERICA GROVE IN HUMBOLDT REDWOODS STATE PARK. WE DEEPENED RELATIONSHIPS WITH SEVERAL CALIFORNIA TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND ESTABLISHED A TRIBAL ENGAGEMENT WORK GROUP. WE BROUGHT 2,500 STUDENTS TO THE REDWOOD FOREST AND INTRODUCED 17,000 STUDENTS TO CALAVERAS BIG TREES STATE PARK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS'S PORTS PROGRAM.
