Land Acquisitions

Purchasing and protecting ancient forests has been the heart of the League's mission since 1918. With donations from our generous members, the League has protected more than 180,000 acres of land in California and helped develop 53 redwood parks and reserves that capture the diversity of the redwood forest.

Honor & Memorial Groves

The League inaugurated its honor and memorial grove program in 1921. The first large gift to purchase and dedicate a redwood grove was given in honor of the first American officer of high rank to fall in World War I. Today, nearly 1,000 honor and memorial groves have been established in California redwood state parks, reserves and Redwood National Park, and more are added each year.

Master Plan

The Master Plan for the Redwoods is a document developed by Save-the-Redwoods League to provide a science-based conservation strategy for the entire coast redwood ecosystem.

Management & Stewardship

Increasingly, the League recognizes that it must apply its expertise not only to acquisitions but also to the difficult follow-up work on the lands it protects - especially former industrial lands. Our restoration work at Mill Creek is an interesting case study.

Since 1987 the League has been protecting one of the oldest and largest Western Juniper trees in the Sierra Mountains.
