About Save the Redwoods League
The mission of Save the Redwoods League is to protect and restore redwood forests and connect people with their peace and beauty so these wonders of the natural world flourish.
Save the Redwoods League works to accelerate the pace of redwood conservation by acquiring and restoring redwood forests at scale. It connects people to these iconic landscapes by increasing access and improving parks and programs in the redwood range. Protected redwood forests, scaled restoration, and a landscape of responsibly managed working forests are critical investments in forest health and sustainability. By maximizing the climate resilience, biodiversity, tribal engagement, and community benefit of this globally unique ecosystem, The League believes that California can lead a new worldwide era of forest stewardship and climate resilience. 
The League is embarking on a Centennial Vision for Redwoods Conservation that will double the size of the protected coastal redwood forest, put young forests on the path to becoming old-growth at a landscape scale, restore the natural fire resilience of the Giant Sequoia, and connect people to these magical places through magnificent parks. Realizing this vision will require everyone who loves the redwoods to get behind this ambitious effort. As we expand our reach and deepen our impact, we're looking for a dynamic Director of Marketing to help lead the way.
