Mission Statement

Preserving Redwood Forests Since 1900

About This Cause

Our Mission Sempervirens Fund’s mission is to protect and permanently preserve redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests, wildlife habitat, watersheds, and other important natural and scenic features of California’s Santa Cruz Mountains, and to encourage public appreciation and enjoyment of this environment. Our Vision At Sempervirens Fund, our vision is for vast swaths of redwoods to once again flourish from Silicon Valley to the Pacific Ocean. 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 animals *Resilient, and able to endure in the face of a climate crisis and wildfire risks *Thriving, forming the critical natural infrastructure that captures carbon, filters air, improves water quality and quantity, reduces erosion, and minimizes flooding *Treasured, 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.
