Redwood Trees
Largest Longest Living Thing on the planet!

Once a forest 1000's of years old.
Reduced to dust.

90% of Redwood forest are gone

Planting trees
For a tomorrow

Communities making the difference
One seedling at a time

Dozens of species lost forever everyday

The fastest rate of extinction is happening now. Planting trees can help slow climate change, restore habitats and restore the ocean's pH balance.
Extinction Crisis

Largest longest living thing on the planet

With a life span of up to 3,500 years and up to 350 feet tall. A Redwood forest can sequester more carbon than any other forest on the planet.
Storing Carbon

15 billion trees cut every year

The only thing we have to store the carbon we have created and slow global warming are trees, yet we are removing them at an alarming rate.
Tree loss


Over 102,000,000 trees dead because of drought

Millions of additional trees are weakened and expected to die in the coming months and years.
Drought toll

State nurseries closed for years

During the great recession of 2008 many states closed their state run nurseries, which provided many hundreds of thousands of seedlings for reforestation.
Seedling shortage

Natural A/C units

A single redwood can transpire as much as 500 gallons of water a day. That’s as much water as you might use in an hour long shower!

Record Number of displaced people

War, hunger and violence has displaced over 65.6 million people. As food and water become scarcer the numbers will increase with the humanitarian burden falling on developed nations.
No where to go

Population Doubling

As the world population continues to double natural resources will be strained like never before.
Growth of populations

Record Losses From Natural Disasters

We can not afford the monetary nor the humanitarian cost of climate change.
More to come

Foster a tree and help replant forest, areas affected by fire and help with climate change. The only viable way to reduce the carbon we have created is planting a new tree. Super easy to care for and great fun to participate with planting it when it comes time.

Holy Oaks!

It's about that time again the Oak trees will be dropping their acorns. Form a collection party and let's start some new Oak trees. A record 1.3 million acres burned last year in California so we need to do some replanting so collect away. You collect them and we'll get them going. Keep them dry and in a cool location until pick-up or drop off and happy collecting!

Planting events where communities come together and plant the next generation of forest to reduce our impact on climate change. Do a Plant-A-Thon event with your city, co-workers and with your friends and family; every seedling counts.

Up coming events & Progress report

From sales and donations at our visits to the Millbrae Farmers Market we are able to start 4,210 seedlings for our 2019 planting year and Plant-A-Thon events. Visitors to the market have taken home over 410 new trees.

From sales and donations at our visits to the San Carlos Farmers Market we are able to start 2,430 seedlings for our 2019 planting year and Plant-A-Thon events. Visitors to the market have taken home over 135 new trees. Several donors funded our Plant-A-Thon event and visitors planted 25 seedling Redwood trees and donated them back to reforestation projects. Thank you!

Q&A

How do I affect climate change?

Americas' carbon impact is higher than any other country. Everything we purchase and most of our transportation needs has a carbon impact. Use the link to see what your impact is.
My Carbon Impact

What are Greenhouse Gases?

There are a few greenhouse gases but Carbon Dioxide is the longest living greenhouse gas. Burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and oil) is a leading contributor to climate change.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Why are the oceans so important?

The oxygen that we depend on as humans comes predominantly from the ocean. With climate change and the acidification of the oceans, life on the planet is in danger.
Oxygen for life

What is ocean Acidification?

The more Carbon Dioxide the ocean sequesters the more acidic the ocean's become. The ocean is 30% more acidic than it was 200 years ago, and it is acidifying faster than at any time in Earth’s history.
A crisis is occurring

Why plant trees

Trees are unique in their ability to lock up large amounts of carbon in their wood, and continue to add carbon as they grow. Planting trees is the only and the cheapest option for storing the carbon we have created.
