Partners
To protect and steward our founders’ legacy, Sempervirens Fund is partnering with old friends and new allies. We need everybody’s participation and everybody’s strength to safeguard the precious resources among the Santa Cruz Mountains.
We work with California State Parks, local open space districts, public agency partners, and partner conservation organizations to acquire redwood forest properties, improve access for recreation, and care for redwood forests that are recovering from logging, wildfire, and degradation. Our foundation and corporate partners support our work with critical funding to further our mission.
