John,

As someone who has explored many of California’s public parks and trails since moving here, I can tell you this: places like Monte Rio Redwoods are truly one of a kind.

Save the Redwoods League is seeking to conserve this unique land, and today is our final day to secure the funds and preserve it forever. We’re almost there—help us push past the finish line with your gift now and it will be matched.

Monte Rio Redwoods is a recreation enthusiast’s dream, full of rolling meadows and beautiful lands that showcase the might and height of California’s redwoods. Let me show you exactly what makes this land so special, and why preserving it is so important.

LAST CHANCE: Secure Monte Rio Redwoods

If Save the Redwoods League can purchase Monte Rio Redwoods, we will immediately transfer all 1,517 acres to Sonoma County Regional Parks. This will go toward a future expansion of Monte Rio Redwoods Regional Park and Open Space Preserve, increasing public land access fourfold!

Monte Rio Redwoods is the missing piece to a puzzle that will connect 22,000 acres of protected lands, some of which forest lovers like you have already helped the League purchase and secure. In an era of habitat fragmentation and human intrusion into wild lands, Monte Rio Redwoods represents our chance to create a massive, contiguous wildlife corridor, and a more resilient future for the unique flora and fauna that make this region so special.

From the winding headwaters that flow into the Russian River to the redwood canopy sheltering wildlife below, Monte Rio Redwoods forms a living tapestry that enriches and sustains our region.

Now—TODAY—is our chance to conserve Monte Rio Redwoods & have your gift matched courtesy of the Visser Family in honor of J. Hugh and Eleanor Visser. Be part of something incredible and help get us over the finish line with your gift!

With gratitude,

P.S. We CAN safeguard the future of Monte Rio Redwoods, but we need your help. Whatever you can give, no matter the amount, will make a difference.
