Description
The Save the Redwoods League funds applied, hypothesis-driven research on the biology and ecology of coast redwood and giant sequoia forests. This grant program supports projects that advance conservation or restoration science for these forests, with a focus on work that can directly inform the League’s conservation initiatives. Proposals on all relevant scientific topics are welcome, and special consideration is given to Indigenous-led projects and those that address environmental change, forest stewardship, and restoration needs.
