Since logging began in the 1850s, 95 percent of old-growth coast redwoods have been cut down. Today, many old growth redwoods are still in danger of being harvested for commercial purposes. We are working to preserve some of the last stands of privately owned old growth redwoods in the world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to protect California’s ancient old growth trees and educate people of the importance of keeping these ancient ecosystems intact for future generations.
Old Growth trees have lived in Humboldt County, California for thousands of years.
“I try to believe there can be progressive change.”
