Dear John,

There’s nothing quite like a winter walk through a redwood grove, with tall trees shimmering with snow, crisp air, and the exhilarating feeling of being part of something bigger.

We’re grateful for these snowy sanctuaries that uplift and inspire us. And we're grateful for your support in protecting forests, restoring habitats, and strengthening communities.

Though the days are short as we pass the solstice, winter offers us space to slow down and recharge. To inspire your own moments of renewal, here are a few of our favorite images of winter magic. Best enjoyed with a mug of hot cocoa.
