  • Request for Proposal for Redwoods Rising Forest & Road Restoration
    Request for Proposal for Redwoods Rising Forest & Road Restoration Operations October 2019 INTRODUCTION In partnership with the National Park Service (NPS) and the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR), Save the Redwoods League (the League) is seeking proposals for services to conduct ecological restoration activities including forest thinning, road improvement and removal, and stockpiling large pieces of wood to be installed in creeks as aquatic habitat structures within Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP). This project is expected to last for several years, and it is the partnership’s intent to develop a long-term relationship with a trusted operator to implement a complex suite of activities across multiple watersheds, forest types, and road conditions. Competitive proposals will assure high quality and timely work, transparency in practices and accounting, will employ local labor where possible, and demonstrated commitment to long-term stewardship. SECTION 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Overview RNSP includes Redwood National Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks. The parks are home to 45 percent of the world’s remaining protected old-growth redwoods. However, alongside these remaining primeval redwood stands are large swaths of forest that bear the scars of logging, including eroding roads, degraded streams, and unnaturally dense forest stands. The park’s diverse landscape supports a wide variety of habitats and ecosystems (e.g., coastal dune/scrub, forests, woodlands, grasslands) and essential habitat for threatened, endangered, and special status species such as marbled murrelet, northern spotted owl, and salmonids such as coho salmon, chinook salmon, and steelhead trout.

  • Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the Presenting Sponsor
    present the Environmental Media Awards Celebrating OUTSTANDING achievement within the ENTERTAINMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL communities #EMAAWARDS Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the presenting sponsor Good evening ladies and gentleman, On behalf of Toyota and Lexus, welcome to the 27th annual Environmental Media Awards! Tonight we are honored to serve as presenting sponsors and celebrate the 17th anniversary of our partnership with the Environmental Media Association. Over the past 17 years, we’ve helped honor the thought leaders that inspire millions to lead more environmentally conscious lives. Tonight we continue to celebrate the efforts of the entertainment industry and celebrities that shape our culture. After all these years, we are still inspired by EMA’s efforts to promote environmental awareness using the powerful medium of entertainment. Tonight we’ve brought an inspiring vehicle line up to the party. The 2017 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle returns to the green carpet. As one of the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid- size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process. Lexus is excited to showcase its all-new hybrid luxury sedan, the LS 500h. With smooth power and an estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway, it has a range of more than 600 miles of luxurious driving. On sale in February 2018 with a starting price around $80,000, the LS 500h will be the luxury sedan of choice for environmentally minded drivers.

Graphic Arts Center Publishing Co., Portland. Chapter 4. Save the Redwoods! Naturalists had explored the forests of the north coast region and some, including John Mur, were especially impressed by the extraordinary stand of redwoods alongside the South Fork of the Eel River at bull Creek and the nearby Dyerville Flat. These experts agreed that the coast redwood forest was at its magnificent best far to the north of San Francisco. Some authorities went so far as to say that the Bull Creek and Dyerville Flat area supported the most impressive and spectacular forest in the whole world…. In 1916 and 1917 several developments took place that would eventually have a profound impact on the north coast redwood region in general and the Bull Creek-Dyerville Flat area in particular.

  • 2009 Annual Report Welcome Pete Dangermond and Ruskin K
    2009 Annual Report Welcome Pete Dangermond and Ruskin K. Hartley Dear Friends, This year, Save the Redwoods League adopted a mission statement to succinctly communicate what we do: “Save the Redwoods League protects and restores redwood forests and connects people with their peace and beauty so these wonders of the natural world flourish.” We continued to carry out this mission as we have since 1918, despite the challenging economic climate. With our members’ and partners’ generous support in fiscal year 2008-9, we protected more than 1,100 acres of key redwood forestlands valued at $8 million, and transferred 831 acres to state or national parks or reserves. This work brought the total number of acres the League has protected to more than 181,000. Our work continued as a world leader in two important endeavors: accelerating restoration of the logged Mill Creek forest to a majestic state, and developing a strategy to help redwoods survive rapid climate change. To sustain our work in the future, we continued to grow future redwoods stewards by awarding 37 grants that helped 63,000 children and adults experience and want to protect redwoods. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the generosity of our members and partners. We extend our sincere thanks, and we look forward to your steadfast support to help save redwoods—sources of peace and beauty for people today and in centuries to come. Pete Dangermond Ruskin K. Hartley Board President Executive Director and Secretary Photo: Erin Derkatz Save the Redwoods League 2009 Annual Report Welcome Pete Dangermond and Ruskin K.
