Threes for Trees

Every three-pointer helps redwoods thrive.

This season, every three-pointer made by the Santa Cruz Warriors helps support the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Through Threes for Trees, the Santa Cruz Warriors and IREN are turning one of basketball's most exciting plays into support for redwood conservation. Sempervirens Fund is the program's charitable beneficiary and conservation partner.

From threes to trees

Every three-pointer becomes something bigger.

1 three-pointer = 3 redwoods

🏀 Warriors hit a three

Every qualifying three-pointer made by the Santa Cruz Warriors during the 2026-27 season contributes to Threes for Trees.

🌲 Three redwoods benefit

For every three-pointer, the program helps three redwoods thrive through volunteer engagement experiences that bolster Sempervirens Fund's redwood forest stewardship throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains.

🤝 The impact keeps growing

As the threes add up, so does our collective impact for the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Upwards of 2,000 redwoods will benefit from Threes for Trees.

Helping redwoods thrive takes more than planting trees.

Redwoods can live for centuries, but healthy forests still need protection and care.

Sempervirens Fund protects redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains, cares for forests to increase their resilience, and connects people with these extraordinary places so they can continue to thrive for generations to come. Volunteers are crucial to a thriving future for redwoods.
