A hidden world lies about a four-hour drive northeast of metropolitan Los Angeles, a world of ancient giant sequoias so immense and majestic that they take your breath away. This is Red Hill, a 160-acre property that contains 110 magnificent ancient giant sequoia. This forest was one of the world’s last unprotected giant sequoia properties. Now, thanks to our dedicated donors and partners, Save the Redwoods League has purchased Red Hill and transferred it to the USDA Forest Service to ensure that it is permanently protected as part of the Giant Sequoia National Monument.<\/p>\n

“Red Hill is one of the great natural gems of the Sierra Nevada,” said Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League. “We’re thankful to the many individuals and foundation partners who care passionately about sequoias and donated to help us protect this important grove. This is a project of tremendous significance, bringing us closer to fulfilling the League’s Centennial Vision<\/a> to protect the remaining viable old-growth giant sequoia and coast redwood forests.”<\/p>\n

Red Hill experienced high-intensity wildfire during the 2021 Windy Fire, and more than a dozen of its giant sequoias perished. Learn more about our work to reduce these types of threats to giant sequoias.<\/a><\/p>\n

At 328,000 acres, the national monument is a scenic, recreational and scientific treasure of incalculable value, and a key component in the long-term conservation strategy for all giant sequoia and the suite of associated imperiled species that coexist with them.<\/p>\n
