Dear Jack, 

As our global temperature climbs, millions of people, plants, and animals are in ever more danger.

What’s more, many members of Congress and state legislatures are holding us back from responsible climate change policies that could edge us away from the brink of disaster.

 

Any plan needs healthy, protected redwood forests. They are key to our future.

 

Add your name to Sempervirens Fund's petition and protect the trees during this critical time.

Science has proven that redwoods capture, store, and convert more carbon dioxide into breathable oxygen than any other tree on Earth.

The chance for political leadership on climate change has never been more within reach, but the deniers, oil tycoons, and pipeline profiteers are fighting to keep power and right now they are winning that fight... the trees need all the help they can get.

 

There’s no doubt about it. Our challenge to secure the future of this planet is more difficult than ever before. But when we stand together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.

Take the first step right now, by adding your voice to the national movement committed to protecting, preserving, and restoring the magnificent forests of the Santa Cruz mountains.

Your support will allow Sempervirens Fund to acquire and permanently protect forests, steward vast expanses of redwood forest, and trailblaze research and techniques to help trees become healthier and more resilient. All the while you’ll be fighting climate change and keeping crucial ecosystems safe.

Right now, partner with Sempervirens Fund and others like you across the country by pledging your support for the trees. It’s essential to protect and restore these majestic natural wonders that help keep humans, plants, and wildlife safe.

 

Redwoods are our biggest allies in the fight against climate change. Old growth redwoods are the world’s largest carbon sequesterers — which means the older the tree, the more carbon is stored and transformed back into clean breathable oxygen. That’s one very important reason Sempervirens Fund has spent nearly 125 years protecting our remaining coast redwoods. I'm sure you agree.

 

Learn more and sign the petition now to protect redwoods.

And for the past 15 years, Sempervirens Fund has been testing cutting-edge restoration forestry techniques to accelerate the development of old growth redwood forests. Our work is helping specific types of trees grow more quickly and become “old growth,” a category of redwood that works harder to combat climate change.

Our situation is dire and we are relying on our forests for help like never before.

 

Add your name right now to learn more about the redwoods and do your part to protect these climate champions.

Sincerely,
Sara Barth,
Executive Director,
Sempervirens Fund
