For redwood forests to thrive in the Santa Cruz Mountain range, we must establish a large, interconnected, and protected network of healthy trees and streams, stretching across public and private lands. We will have succeeded when these forests are:Wild, and able to support diverse and ecologically rich populations of native plants and animalsResilient, and able to endure in the face of a climate crisis and wildfire risksThriving, forming the critical natural infrastructure that captures carbon, filters air, improves water quality and quantity, reduces erosion, and minimizes floodingTreasured, and safe and welcoming to explore by all people.It is critical that the region’s natural features such as watersheds and redwood forests remain intact and are well cared for, regardless of who owns the land. We are pursuing enduring protection for thousands of precious remaining acres of redwood forests in the Santa Cruz mountains, implementing land management practices that support the emergence of a new generation of magnificent old-growth redwoods, and ensuring our redwood forests are welcoming and accessible to all." } ] } ] ```
