Wildfire New study documents shifting reality for giant sequoias For millennia, one of the defining characteristics of giant sequoias has been their innate resilience to wildfire. But in the last several years, severe fires in the Sierra Nevada have revealed an unprecedented vulnerability in the groves. Podcast Skateboarding in the redwoods might seem unconventional, but it’s a thing. The nonprofit Skate Like a Girl hosts a sleepaway skate camp for women, trans, and nonbinary skaters—in the middle of Sequoia National Forest. In the latest episode of our podcast I’ll Go If You Go, we learn that skate culture has a lot in common with the redwood forest. Celebrating life Remembering our friend Nina Roberts In late March, our community lost a dear friend and colleague, Nina S. Roberts, PhD. She was a brilliant human being, a passionate educator, and a powerful advocate for diversity and equity in the outdoors and conservation. Join us in making a gift to an endowed scholarship fund in her honor. Access Lack of transportation is the largest barrier preventing underrepresented communities from visiting their local redwood parks. A new Save the Redwoods League program is addressing that problem head-on.
