Save the Redwoods League
@savetheredwoods.org
One of the nation’s oldest conservation organizations, Save the Redwoods League has protected over 220,000 acres of irreplaceable redwood and giant sequoia forests in 66 state, national, and local parks and reserves since 1918. https://savetheredwoods.org
🌲 95% of old-growth redwoods were lost.

Now, Redwoods Rising is restoring forests and protecting wildlife like the northern spotted owl.

The shutdown is over—and NPS staff are back caring for our parks. 

Let’s keep supporting them by respecting closures, following guidance, and treading lightly.

Here’s to a safe reopening for everyone who loves and protects these places. 🌲❤️

For thousands of years, redwoods have stood tall for generations.

The Redwood Resilience Fund protects centuries-old redwoods that store carbon, restores redwood groves, renews parks, and uplifts local communities. 

Together, let’s revive the range 🌲✨
