Dear John,
Imagine: a flourishing forest, where ancient redwoods stand side-by-side with young saplings. The smell of salt air, the sound of birds overhead, animals scurry beneath the canopy. An extension of the California Coastal Trail that will allow residents and visitors alike to enjoy the uniquely Californian views of the Sonoma Coast Redwoods.
Now, think of the alternative: harmful development destroying the unique biodiversity and stunning beauty of Sonoma Coast Redwoods. Private coastal homes cutting off access to these lands to all but a privileged few.
We have the power to choose the future of this iconic place. We have the power to save Sonoma Coast Redwoods—forever. Make your Giving TREESday gift to Save the Redwoods League and it will be matched 2 to 1, up to $100,000.
3X the impact: Protect Sonoma Coast Redwoods »
Your gift today matters more than you may realize. For starters, the property the League is seeking to acquire is more than 1,600 acres — twice the size of Central Park.
That’s a lot of land, filled to the brim with valuable and unique biodiversity, and 836 acres of redwood forests that store massive amounts of planet-warming carbon. These forests are of the highest conservation priority and set to thrive in the decades to come—if we can protect them.
Saving the Sonoma Coast Redwoods would protect our past, enrich the present, and safeguard our future with critical climate benefits. But with the threat of encroaching development, we must act NOW.
Today is Giving TREESday and it’s your chance to take advantage of this triple match. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help save and protect a truly iconic redwood landscape along California's rugged coast
Sincerely,
