Save the Redwoods League
Save the Redwoods League is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect and restore Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests. and to connect people with their peace and beauty.
It relies on private donations and funding from the state and other partners to buy land, and has protected more than 189,000 acres (760 km2) of forestland. Over 60% of the redwoods in California's state redwood parks have been protected by the organization, in particular Humboldt Redwoods State Park, and the Redwood National and State Parks.
In addition to purchasing and protecting land, Save the Redwoods League supports restoration, research, and education programs, and gives small grants to other organizations involved in ecological conservation. Save the Redwoods League maintains and updates a website which offers information, photos, and progress reports.
Preservation of the Redwood stands in California is considered one of the most substantial conservation contributions of the Boone and Crockett Club. The Save-The-Redwoods League was founded in 1918 by Boone and Crockett Club members Madison Grant, John C. Merriam, and Henry Fairfield Osborn. The initial purchases of land were made by Club member Stephen Mather and Mr. William Kent. In 1921, Boone and Crockett Club member Dr. John C. Phillips donated $32,000 to purchase land and create the Raynal Bolling Memorial Grove in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
The "Master Plan for the Redwoods" attempts to provide a science-based conservation strategy for the remaining Coast Redwood ecosystem. All conservation decisions made by the League and its partners are guided by the Master Plan's strategies. The Master Plan helps to set priorities for land acquisitions, stewardship, and restoration initiatives. It also helps planning integration with partner organizations.
