Save the Redwoods League supports basic and applied hypothesis-driven research on the biology and ecology of coast redwood and giant sequoia forest ecosystems.
To conserve and restore these ecosystems in the coming decades, the League funds research that expands our understanding of ecosystem function, community interactions, rare and threatened species, and the impact of climate change on redwood forests. We welcome proposals on all topics that advance our understanding of these ecosystems. In 2011, we are especially interested in projects that focus on one of the following topics: How effective are forest restoration techniques? How is climate change impacting forest biogeochemical cycling? How is wildlife affected by forest management? How does fire impact young and late-seral forests? Grant applications are due Friday, November 4, 2011, before 6 p.m. PDT. Visit Grant Application Guidelines for more information about applying.
