SemperVoices: Learn About Sempervirens' Priorities
From protecting the last remaining, intact redwood landscapes, to restoring old-growth resilience at Big Basin, to easing the path for State Parks to expand, to connecting people with the land, hear from Sempervirens Fund's directors about the organization's priorities.
Sounds of the Redwoods
Acclaimed field recordist Thomas Rex Beverly ventured into a grove of old-growth redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains to capture the subtle, shifting soundscape of the almost-silent trees. Step into this environment and hear the solitude of the forest come to life.
Growing Old-Growth
An old-growth redwood is huge. One of the largest living things to ever grace the planet. And their size isn’t just impressive, it’s important. In the Santa Cruz Mountains very few old-growth redwoods remain, but you’re helping to grow the old-growth of tomorrow, today. Together, we’re restoring redwood forests faster for the trees, for wildlife, for the fight against climate change, and for future generations.

Our Work
Protecting Our Redwoods
Healthy, connected coast redwoods ensure vibrant habitat, clean air and water, and climate resilience. Your support purchases, restores, and safeguards redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains, ensuring they will never be developed, degraded, or destroyed. Learn more about how we work.
Visit the Redwoods
Most people glimpse their first redwood in a public park. Your support expands our great local redwood parks, sharing new destinations with the public, and helping make the land more accessible and welcoming for everyone. Discover the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Redwood Science
The redwood forests we protect are strategically identified for their ecological and conservation values. Many of these lands serve as critical habitat corridors. And redwoods are resilient allies in the fight to address our climate crisis. Explore Redwoods Science.
