Save the Redwoods League
Description
The Save-the-Redwoods League is an organization dedicated to the protection of the remaining Coast Redwood trees in the U.S. state of California. It was founded in 1918 by Frederick Russell Burnham, Madison Grant, John C. Merriam, and Henry Fairfield Osborn.
It relies on private donations and funding from the state and other partners to buy land, and has protected more than of forestland. Over 60% of the redwoods in California's state redwood parks have been protected by the organization, in particular Humboldt Redwoods State Park, and the Redwood National and State Parks.
The League also supports redwood education, and gives small grants to other organizations involved in ecological conservation.
