Preserving Redwood Forests Since 1900

Our Mission

Sempervirens Fund protects and permanently preserves redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests, wildlife habitat, watersheds, and other important natural features of California’s Santa Cruz Mountains, and encourages people to appreciate and enjoy this environment.

Our Vision

We envision a permanently protected, forested, collaboratively managed, continuous ecosystem covering the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, with extensive trails, picnic and camp sites, landscapes, and scenic vistas. To make that vision a reality, we cooperate with other land conservation organizations and public agencies to make strategic land purchases that create, expand, and link together local redwood forests and parks.
