Dear John,

California’s redwoods have stood tall for thousands of years. They’ve weathered storms, fires, and time itself. But today, they face challenges unlike any before: megafires, drought, and weakened protections for our public lands and wildlife. 

That’s why we created the Redwood Resilience Fund. It’s a bold new initiative to help forests—and the people and communities that depend on them—adapt and thrive far into the future. In a time of uncertainty, this fund provides something powerful and actionable we can do together.  

With your support, we’ll advance key efforts across the redwood range, including: 

• Climate Resilience – We’ll keep protecting centuries-old coast redwoods as powerful carbon sinks, expanding restoration work at sites like Harold Richardson Redwoods Reserve to support a stable climate for generations to come. 

• Wildfire Resilience – We’re restoring giant sequoia groves across the Sierra, including at Alder Creek, where we’re removing fire fuels and supporting tribal-led cultural burns to protect giant sequoias from extreme fires. 

• Park Resilience – At Founders Grove in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, we’re developing plans to restore old-growth habitat, remove aging infrastructure, and create new trails and inclusive exhibits that welcome all visitors.  

• Community Resilience – We’ll deepen collaboration with communities and local partners to shape education, cultural programs, and public access across the entire redwood range. 

The challenges are substantial, but through the Redwood Resilience Fund, so is our power to make a difference.

When we act together, we can protect irreplaceable forests, boost climate resiliency, and strengthen our communities.  

The tomorrow we want? It begins by taking action today.  

With gratitude,

Save the Redwoods League
