These lands have all been impacted by human activity such as unsustainable logging. Careful <a title=\"Restore\" href=\"\/what-we-do\/our-work\/restore\/\">restoration<\/a> and ongoing stewardship are crucial to help these places provide clean water for people and wildlife, homes for imperiled animals and plants, as well as recreation and awe-inspiring scenery.<\/p>\n<p>The League and our partners manage and steward private and public land by giving it the holistic care it needs to thrive. This can include activities such as conducting biological surveys and other environmental monitoring, building or removing infrastructure like trails and bridges, and restoration to help the land recover from past damage. Ensuring public access is often a good stewardship practice, too\u2014the more people who can visit redwood forests, the more people who care about protecting them.<\/p>\n<p>We support a comprehensive vision of forest conservation that includes working forests as well as protected parks and lands. Working forests, when managed responsibly, provide needed wood products and economic benefits while maintaining or improving the forest&#8217;s health. This model ensures the long-term economic viability of the forest, preventing it from being developed or converted for other uses. Meanwhile, old-growth stands and wildlife habitats are preserved.<\/p>\n<p>Our protection for redwood forests is unwavering, and our vision for the future of the redwoods is one in which the entire redwood forest ecosystem \u2014 public and private lands alike \u2014 will continue to thrive and adapt to change. As our forests are increasingly threatened by unsustainable logging, development and climate change, it is essential for conservationists and foresters to work together. This cooperative approach, in which working forests are managed alongside parks and reserves, allows for the permanent protection of more old-growth redwoods and wildlife habitat than would be possible otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"All the Ways to Give\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/donate\/all-the-ways-to-give\/\">Help us save more redwood forests.<\/a> You can make your gift in memory or honor of an individual or organization.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>League Stewardship Projects<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-4\">\n<p><a title=\"Shady Dell Project\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/project\/shady-dell\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive size-medium wp-image-28885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shady-Dell-Peter-Douglas_Trail-Candelabra2HDR-web-300x270.jpg\" alt=\"Candelabra trees at Shady Dell.
