Big Basin Memories

For millions of people, Big Basin is the place where they first experienced the majesty of the redwoods — where they were humbled and inspired standing amidst a grove of towering trees that have stood resolute for thousands of years. The park will not look the same when we are able to go back, but this new chapter is one of many in the long history of this forest. We do not know what the future holds, but we do know that coast redwoods are remarkably resilient, thrive even during adverse conditions, and are naturally fire-adaptive. We intend to be here for the forests we protected in the past to see that they rise to the skies once more. Together, we will rebuild and restore Big Basin and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
