Boasting hundreds of towering old-growth trees, including an ancient giant over 1,640 years old, the reserve is one of the world&#8217;s most pristine redwood landscapes. When Save the Redwoods League purchased the property in 2018, Outside Magazine called it the \u201cShangri\u2011la of conservation acquisitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, we have a rare moment to grow this magnificent reserve by more than 25%, creating a 930\u2011acre redwood sanctuary that will benefit local communities and future visitors for generations.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section2\">Expanding a redwood sanctuary<\/h3>\n<span class=\"su-lightbox img-responsive\" data-mfp-src=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map.jpeg\" data-mfp-type=\"image\" data-mobile=\"yes\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-152993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map.jpeg\" alt=\"Harold Richardson Redwoods Reserve expansion map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map-1140x881.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map-768x593.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map-1536x1187.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map-700x541.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRRRe_map-31x24.jpeg 31w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><span class=\"caption map-caption\">Map of Harold Richardson Redwoods Reserve, click to enlarge.<\/span><\/span>\n<p>Save the Redwoods has secured an exciting opportunity to acquire 200 acres that border the existing reserve.

Photo by Mike Shoys.<\/p>\n<p>One-third larger than Muir Woods National Monument, this remarkable reserve holds 352 acres of ancient redwoods\u2014that\u2019s 112 more acres of old-growth trees than Muir Woods itself. Yet for decades, this privately owned forest remained largely unknown to the public, even as conservation groups recognized it as one of the most important unprotected redwood landscapes in California. Securing this redwood stronghold was a landmark achievement for Save the Redwoods, protecting a rare and long\u2011sought conservation priority and ensuring its old\u2011growth wonders endure for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>The reserve stands today because Harold Richardson and his family safeguarded this forest for generations. When Richardson died in 2016, his heirs honored that legacy by partnering with Save the Redwoods to preserve the land forever.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, this acquisition was fueled by individual donors at every level, joined by matching challenge grants and significant support from The Mattson Family Conservation Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section5\">Science and stewardship<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-153056 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0422.jpg\" alt=\"Two forest workers wearing yellow stand in a redwood forest.\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0422.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0422-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0422-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0422-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0422-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0422-31x21.jpg 31w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/> Laura Lalemand, senior scientist at Save the Redwoods, helps with a prescribed burn at Harold Richardson Redwoods Reserve in 2024.

Save the Redwoods is now undertaking essential work to strengthen the health of this redwood ecosystem, by monitoring forest conditions, gathering long\u2011term ecological data, and studying how this landscape responds to fire and climate change. These insights help us protect the reserve today and guide restoration efforts across the entire coast redwood range.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-feature wp-image-144171 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0696.jpg\" alt=\"A firefighter uses a torch to light small, controlled fire in a redwood grove.\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0696.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0696-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0696-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0696-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0696-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_11_4_STRLeague_RichardsonGrove_RxBurn_Sashwa-0696-31x21.jpg 31w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/> Prescribed burns are a crucial tool to boost the fire resilience of redwood groves. Photo by Sashwa Burrous.<\/p>\n<p>In the fall of 2024, Save the Redwoods conducted the first prescribed burn on the property, in collaboration with our Kashia partners. Cultural burns have been practiced by Indigenous Tribes for thousands of years to promote healthy and productive habitats. Prescribed burns follow this model and are an important tool to prevent severe wildfires. Data collected before and after the burn helps our science team understand and quantify impacts of the treatment work.<\/p>\n<p>We also conduct regular surveys to monitor the sensitive and endangered species that rely on this habitat, including the marbled murrelet and northern spotted owl.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section6\">Hike the Reserve<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-feature wp-image-153235 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2510-1-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"hikers in the redwoods\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2510-1-2-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2510-1-2-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2510-1-2-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.savetheredwoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2510-1-2-1-31x23.jpg 31w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>Alanna Smith, parks program associate at Save the Redwoods, leads a public hike in summer 2024.

The expansion will offer even more opportunities for the public to visit this special place. Planning is underway to design amenities that welcome people into the reserve while honoring the redwood ecosystem and the living culture of the Kashia. From the outset, the goal has been to protect this land in a way that allows the public to experience this redwood wonderland responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur collaboration with the Kashia helps us understand the site\u2019s cultural significance and what meaningful partnership looks like at this special place,\u201d says Jessica Carter, senior program director at Save the Redwoods. \u201cWe have also invited local communities to experience the reserve. With Tribal and community input, and following this new acquisition, we can enter a new phase of our public access planning.
