Hi John,

Deadly fires, extreme weather, climate change… as an old-growth giant of Monte Rio Redwoods, I’ve seen it all in my 1,000 years. Heck, I’ve even been struck by lightning and lived to tell the tale—five times.

I’m a survivor. But I’ve also seen so many of my fellow old-growth redwoods fall. Now, I dream of a better future for the young redwoods that bring life and beauty to this forest.

I heard you helped the League secure Russian River Redwoods, including my longtime friend, the 2,000-year-old Clar Tree. Now, you have a chance to save Monte Rio Redwoods—and I hope you take it.

Save our home, not for me but for the next generation of redwoods. In the hands of caring forest stewards, I know these young sprouts will thrive, growing canopies even bigger and more brilliant than mine.

Plus, uniting us with the rest of Sonoma County’s redwood landscape will make us even more resilient against the effects of climate change. There’s power in numbers!

The future of Monte Rio Redwoods is bright—if you help the League act now. Triple your gift and create a beautiful future for every tree, plant, and animal who calls this forest home.

In gratitude & hope,
A Monte Rio Old-Growth🌲
