Redwood forest in Santa Cruz Mountains preserved. "Capping one of the most significant redwood preservation deals in the Santa Cruz Mountains over the past 20 years, the non-profit Save the Redwoods League has signed an agreement to buy 564 acres of redwood forests and other lands near the San Mateo-Santa Cruz county line (CA). The League wants to add the land to the state parks system. Over the past three years the group has purchased the two largest remaining ancient giant sequoia forests left in private ownership in the world, the 530-acre Alder Creek property in Tulare County, and Red Hill, a 160-acre forest eight miles to the south. The league plans to transfer both to the U.S. Forest Service over the next decade, so they can be included in the Giant Sequoia National Monument, a part of Sequoia National Forest. Two years ago, the league also purchased the largest remaining old-growth coast redwood forest in the world, a remote 730-acre parcel on the Sonoma Coast west of Santa Rosa." Why is this so important? About 95% of the old-growth redwoods in the world have been cut. The time is now to save the remaining redwood trees and other forests for future generations and the planet.
