This episode of Big Blend Radio's "Nature Connection" Show features Jeff Stump, senior manager of land protection for Save the Redwoods League, who talks about how supporters from every U.S. state helped Save the Redwoods League acquire a 394-acre redwood forest in Sonoma County, California, named Russian River Redwoods, from the RMB Revocable Family Trust. The purchase of Russian River Redwoods is the next step toward safeguarding the Clar Tree, one of the county’s oldest and tallest coast redwoods, and 1 mile of Russian River frontage near Guerneville. Save the Redwoods League secured $6.5 million to purchase Russian River Redwoods, including a $2 million bridge loan from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, a $500,000 matching gift from the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria and donations from more than 2,000 supporters. Donations will also support the nonprofit’s project costs and stewardship of the forest until it can be transferred to Sonoma County for long-term protection.
