With a mission as elegant as “to protect and restore redwood forests and connect people with their peace and beauty so these wonders of the natural world flourish,” Save the Redwoods League is pretty easy organization to get behind. The League follows a science-based master plan to guide conservation and restoration efforts. These include buying redwood forestlands and buffers, negotiating conservation easements or agreements (i.e. allowing the trees to live on the land as long as they like), restoring logged forests, connecting folks to trees (presumably this includes hugging), conducting and funding research, and partnering up with other likeminded organizations.
Save the Redwoods League offers plenty of volunteer opportunities including fun citizen science projects and art contests. Visit them online to find out more:
