Filmed on-location in Santa Cruz, California at the San Vicente Redwoods in a press preview of the new trail system which will be open to the public on Saturday, 12/3/2022.

Join Corinna Bellizzi on-location in Santa Cruz, California as she connects with the 4 companies that came together to ensure this project came to fruition:

Sarah Newkirk - The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County
Sam Hodder - Save The Redwoods League
Walter Moore - Peninsula Open Space Trust and
Sara Barth, Sempervirens Fund

Over $30 million has been invested in this project. The trails are open this Saturday, December 3, 2022.

Notable quotes kick off the episode:
"We're talking about 8,800 acres right here in the Santa Cruz mountains. That is part of a 1.6 million acre redwood forest ecosystem going from Big Sur all the way up to the Oregon border, most of which is young recovering second and third growth forest. 95% of it is young recovering second growth forest, and in that latent forest ecosystem is a fire resilient landscape that we can restore together if we learn from the lessons of this project." -- Sam Hodder, CEO, Save The Redwoods League

"What's unusual in this time is the intensity in the crown fires and these absolutely. Gigantic catastrophic wildfires that really destroy entire communities. And so the communities should hear about it and they should hear about the value of that work." -- Sarah Newkirk, Executive Director, The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County
