Why I Give
Karen Law
"I joined the Redwood Legacy Society because redwoods will endure, and Sempervirens Fund has the proven history to support that lasting future of redwoods. It is a privilege to support an organization that knows what it is doing and is willing to educate others.”
Dawn Grench
“With all the forest fires, the redwoods, of all the trees, withstood the impacts the best. I continue to be interested in helping Sempervirens Fund with the fight to protect them. The staff are dedicated and filled with purpose, and that means a lot to me.”
Taylor Elich
“As I prepare for college, I am also passionate about advocating for the environment and working to help fight climate change. My love of nature and my passion for environmental advocacy is what drew me to Sempervirens Fund, and I really feel connected to the mission of protecting forests and preserving redwoods.”
Rani Menon and Keith Amidon
“We have increased our support over the years because the organization’s staff, some of the most genuine and committed people we’ve had the pleasure to know, have the grit, wisdom, and insight to adapt methods as the world changes.”
Fred and Judith Butts
"We donate monthly as a firm commitment to Sempervirens because we want to help maintain healthy redwood forests for wildlife and play a part in re-establishing a forest that connects Silicon Valley and the Pacific Ocean."

Your Impact
125 Years
125 years in photos! In 1900, a group of citizen activists banded together to form Sempervirens Club—now Sempervirens Fund—and committed to protecting and nurturing coast redwoods. As we reflect on our legacy and look forward to the future, we are forever thankful to our vast community of supporters like you for your unwavering commitment to protecting redwoods.
Impact Report
Each year Sempervirens reports on the impact our remarkable donor community has had on our mission to ensure coast redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains thrive for generations to come.
