Description
Save the Redwoods League’s Redwood Research Grants support scientific research that deepens understanding of how to protect and steward redwood forests in a changing climate. The program welcomes research across all topics that advance conservation and restoration science for coast redwood or giant sequoia ecosystems, with findings relevant to the League’s conservation mission.
The current theme, Revive the Range, gives special consideration to research applicable across the entire range of either species and investigations of redwood vulnerability or resilience. Applicants must explain how the grant would serve as startup or catalyst funding and help secure future funding or other support. The League also specially encourages Indigenous-led projects.
