Why Become a Forest Sustainer?
Our Forest Sustainers are the foundation of our Sempervirens Fund community.
By becoming a Forest Sustainer, you play a vital role in the continuous protection and conservation of redwood forests. Your gift will always go where redwoods need it most and provide a steady stream of resources for planning and implementing important projects in key areas:
- Acquisition Efforts: Land acquisition is a key strategy for forest conservation. By protecting and connecting more land, you help protect more trees, create contiguous forests that foster wildlife movement, and enhance forest resilience in the face of climate change.
- Reforestation Efforts: Your support makes it possible to plan and implement the long-term stewardship projects needed to restore and replenish the redwood forests affected by natural disasters or human activities.
- Habitat Protection: Redwood forests are home to a rich diversity of plant and animal species. Your contributions implement measures to protect and restore critical habitats, ensuring the survival of these ecosystems and the species that depend on them.
- Educational Initiatives: Your sustained donations allow for the flexibility to develop partnerships and educational programs that raise awareness about the importance of redwood forests, foster environmental responsibility, and cultivate the next generation of forest stewards.
- Nature for All: Your support empowers us to work hand in hand with state parks, growing and protecting our forests, ensuring they remain open and available for everyone to enjoy.
- Protect more redwoods:Â With less than 5% of old growth remaining, the survival of our planet depends on establishing healthy, resilient old-growth forests for the future. Your support goes to the greatest need to ensure this happens.
