Protected Redwood Forests

We are California’s first land trust, and since 1900 Sempervirens Fund has protected more than 56 square miles of redwood-forested land in the Santa Cruz mountains and helped establish three state and two regional parks. We often own and restore land until it can be managed by public agencies. Read on to learn about the public parks we have helped establish and expand, and you can explore today, and the 11,000 acres of properties we own and care for today.
