League Director of Science Kristen Shive talks about California’s unprecedented fire season in 2020 and its effects on our iconic coast redwood and giant sequoia forests.
In the first episode of the League’s new podcast, “I’ll Go If You Go,” host Leslie Parra rings in the new year with Miguel Marquez. Born and raised in Oakland, he talks about the role that his Mexican-American heritage and family time in redwood parks played in developing his love for nature and ultimately his career path as a park ranger.
Shaandiin Cedar, a Diné (Navajo) woman, talks about her experience on Indigenous land in both California and New Zealand—with spectacular coast redwood forests as the setting.
2020 showed us that even in the most difficult of times, supporters like you greatly value the beauty and inspiration of our coast redwood and giant sequoia parks. The final days of the year were no exception.
In the wake of the record-breaking wildfires of 2020, League President and CEO Sam Hodder applauds Gov. Gavin Newsom for including substantial funding in the state’s annual budget for forestry and wildfire resilience.
To say that 2020 was eventful—for the League and for pretty much everyone on the planet—is the understatement of the century. While we weathered many storms together, we also experienced many moments of hope and big conservation wins.
