One connected forest. Twice the impact.

Peter,

Picture this: morning light filtering through a cathedral of redwoods, the air cool and rich with the earthy scent of the forest. A chorus of birdsong echoes through the canopy, while the forest floor teems with life—ferns unfurling, deer stepping softly, and the Russian River flowing in the distance.

Double Your Impact

 

This isn’t just a beautiful place. It’s a living, breathing ecosystem, and a vital link in California’s redwood network. Monte Rio Redwoods connects a fragmented forest, creating a sanctuary for wildlife and a refuge for people seeking peace, wonder and connection to the natural world.

I could go down a list of reasons why we must preserve Monte Rio Redwoods. At its core, the reason we must preserve Monte Rio Redwoods is simple: Because it’s our duty as human beings to… safeguard the delicate balance of ecosystems that provide clean air, clean water, and a home for endangered species. stand up for forests that cannot advocate for themselves. ensure that the beauty, peace, and wonder of places like Monte Rio Redwoods are not lost, but passed on to future generations. conserve this special place.

This is more than conservation. It’s a calling, and your opportunity to make twice the impact thanks to the Visser Family. In honor of J. Hugh and Eleanor Visser, they will match every donation up to $100,000.
