John,
On the rolling hills overlooking the seemingly infinite horizon of the Pacific Ocean, stand the centuries-old redwood forests of Sonoma Coast Redwoods.
Here, the vibrant and lush redwood forests look out over the ocean. Animals like the Sonoma tree vole scurry in the shade of towering redwoods, and red-tailed hawks soar overhead through the salty coastal fog. Every part of this forest — each tree, rock, animal, and plant — has a story to tell.
We have a chance to ensure those stories are told. The League is seeking to purchase and protect this iconic California landscape — forever.

The California coastline is primed for development because of the million-dollar views. There are those who would love to build homes and estates up here for that reason. But development would harm this fragile habitat and the unique beauty of the Sonoma Coast Redwoods.
We have other plans. Together, we can protect Sonoma Coast Redwoods for a future where all can access it and enjoy stunning redwood destinations like it.
This landscape is rich in history and culture as it lies within the ancestral territory of the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians. Sonoma Coast Redwoods is also of the highest conservation priority due to these redwoods’ ability to store vast amounts of carbon.
In 2020, Sonoma Coast Redwoods partially burned during the Meyers Fire. Some of the oldest redwoods survived, now standing side-by-side with redwood seedlings planted to aid the forests’ recovery.
Today, you can see resilience and regrowth on this iconic landscape and it fills me with hope.
Protecting Sonoma Coast Redwoods would ensure its beauty, ecological and cultural resources, fire resilience, and carbon capacity are secured. It would also provide a critical buffer to the redwood forest of Fort Ross State Historic Park and could lead to expanded public access.
Future generations should be able to benefit and enjoy this stunning and iconic landscape.
Right now, your generous gift to Sonoma Coast Redwoods will be matched by the Schuman Family Foundation, thanks to their $1 Million Match. Let’s look toward that infinite horizon together and build a future where rare and wild spaces like this are preserved.
