SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Save the Redwoods League initiates a major effort to protect and steward California's iconic redwood forests and reinvest in the state's redwoods parks It was recently announced that Forever Forest: The Campaign for the Redwoods has been launched, a $120 million fundraising effort that has already secured $80 million. Their vision is to protect and steward California's iconic redwood forests and reinvest in the state's redwoods parks.
As stated in a press release by Save the Redwoods League, "Now, Save the Redwoods League is shifting from defense to offense, growing the resources that will enable us to dramatically scale up our pace, reach and impact, changing California's story for the next 100 years," said League President and CEO Sam Hodder. The League commits to accelerating the pace and scale of redwood forest land conservation. Announced last month, the League has entered into an agreement to purchase the 564-acre Cascade Creek property in the Santa Cruz Mountains in order to maintain the protected redwood habitat.
