Your Impact in 2019
Thanks to your support, donations, and volunteer time in 2019, we made forests whole, protected wildlife and healed habitat, built partnerships and parks, and prepared for fire. This is what impact your support had on our mission to protect and permanently preserve redwood forests:
Safeguarding a region at risk
Spanning more than 1,000 square miles, the Santa Cruz Mountains region is a spectacular, biodiverse regional wonderland. A third of the region’s forests are unprotected and at risk. Every acre of forest under threat can have consequences for what we have already protected. Intact habitat is critical for our forests and the wildlife that call them home to thrive, ensures clean water, and helps us prepare for and mitigate the risks of fire. Learn more about the risks to this region.
Despite these threats, your support ensures we are working to protect redwood forested lands critical to the region’s health and resilience. Learn more about how you make this work happen.
Together, we have protected more than 35,000 acres of redwood forests and helped establish three state and two regional parks. We currently own and care for more than 11,000 acres of forests throughout the region. With your support we continue to protect and care for more land every year, and deepen our partnerships to ensure our forests thrive for generations to come.
