Imagine opening an interactive map and watching it populate with individual trees, to a grove and as the years go by, into a mighty forest.  

You can also explore the places where restoration is happening, learn about the people and organizations making this effort possible, and see how individual actions become part of a larger movement to restore redwood ecosystems.

Over time, this map becomes more than a collection of locations and data points. It becomes a living story of restoration: the partnerships formed, the communities engaged, the landscapes protected, and the trees growing stronger year after year.

This is the vision behind the Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping efforts of the 10,000 Redwoods (10kRW) Program, a program of Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN). Through interactive maps, images, and data, we aim to transform information into an engaging learning experience that helps people build a deeper connection to place and understand the impact of restoration over time.

Our mapping approach serves three purposes:

• Creating an interactive learning experience that allows people to explore restoration efforts and develop a deeper connection to the landscapes we are working to protect.
• Establishing a baseline through Geographic Information System (GIS) maps that document current conditions and help illustrate changes over time.
• Tracking program progress by visualizing tree plantings, partnerships, restoration sites, and other key data points.

While storytelling for the 10,000 Redwoods Program extends beyond GIS, we are using four core maps to help tell this evolving story:

• Historical Redwood Planting Sites
• Partnership Development Map
• Seed Collection Sites
• Land Protection Map (TIRN properties)

Identifying Restoration Opportunities

The map below highlights a portion of the 30 acres of land stewarded and protected by TIRN. It includes two parcels: Parcel A, a residential area with two existing redwoods and additional space for future planting, and Parcel B, an area currently covered by trees and brush.

Parcel A’s proximity to San Geronimo Creek, a tributary within the Lagunitas Creek watershed, creates an opportunity to advance both redwood restoration and watershed health. The site’s consistent moisture availability, protection from strong winds due to the surrounding hills, and frequent summer fog create favorable conditions for coast redwood establishment and long-term growth.

Planting redwoods near San Geronimo Creek also advances another major focus of Turtle Island Restoration Network’s work: protecting and restoring habitat for Coho salmon. Healthy riparian forests play an essential role in watershed function by stabilizing streambanks, reducing erosion, improving water quality, and creating conditions that support resilient aquatic ecosystems.

Through their extensive root systems, redwoods help slow and absorb rainfall, allowing water to gradually move through forest soils and into surrounding ecosystems. Over time, these functions contribute to healthier watersheds and improved habitat conditions for native species, including Coho salmon.

The GIS map helps us identify restoration opportunities by showing not only where redwoods currently exist, but where additional trees can be planted. Parcel A demonstrates the potential for expanding redwood habitat, as shown in the images below.

The image above pinpoints where five additional trees can be planted separated by 20 feet.

Mitigating the Impacts of Climate Change Through Redwood Restoration

Coast redwoods are extraordinary carbon sinks, capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and storing it within their trunks, branches, roots, and surrounding soils. Their immense size, longevity, and ability to accumulate biomass allow them to store carbon for generations, making them one of nature’s most powerful tools for addressing climate change.

However, the value of redwoods extends far beyond carbon storage. When we plant and protect redwoods,  we participate in a relationship of reciprocity—restoring forests that provide cleaner air, healthier watersheds, habitat for wildlife, and resilience for future generations.

In return for the many benefits ecosystems provide us, restoration offers an opportunity to give back by helping these forests thrive for centuries to come.

Measuring Our Impact Over Time

Through GIS mapping and additional data collection, our goal is to measure the impact of the 10,000 Redwoods Program over time. This includes estimating the carbon currently captured by redwoods protected on TIRN properties, as well as tracking the additional carbon storage and ecological benefits created as new trees are planted.

As the program grows, these maps will allow us to visualize restoration in action—from the first seed collected to the planting of thousands of redwoods across the landscape.

This year marks an exciting new chapter for Turtle Island Restoration Network’s (TIRN) 10,000 Redwoods Program. With renewed capacity and a long-term vision, we have an opportunity to build on the program’s foundation while expanding its impact across Marin County and beyond.

At its heart, the 10,000 Redwoods Program uses redwood restoration as a catalyst for strengthening watersheds, addressing the climate crisis, and reconnecting people with the natural world. By restoring redwood ecosystems, we are not only planting trees—we are restoring relationships: between forests and watersheds, people and place, science and storytelling, and present communities and future generations.

Our work is guided by four interconnected pillars.

Supporting Healthy Watersheds

Redwoods are a cornerstone species within healthy riparian ecosystems. Through strategic planting in areas where historical evidence and ecological data indicate redwoods were once part of the landscape, we aim to support watershed restoration and resilience.

By planting redwoods in appropriate locations, including along creeks and within the Lagunitas Creek watershed, we can help stabilize streambanks, reduce erosion, improve water quality, and contribute to habitat conditions that support native species such as Coho salmon.

Building Climate Resilience

Coast redwoods are among the world’s most effective natural carbon sinks, capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it within their trunks, branches, roots, and surrounding soils. Their immense size, longevity, and ability to accumulate biomass allow them to store carbon for generations, making them one of nature’s most powerful tools for addressing climate change.

Through local seed collection, propagation, and strategic planting, we aim to restore redwoods to landscapes where they historically thrived while also supporting community members and landowners who want to plant redwoods on their own properties. Whether planted in a restoration area or a backyard, every tree represents a tangible act of hope and an opportunity for individuals to contribute to climate resilience.

Cultivating Stewardship Through Reciprocity

Long-term conservation depends on more than healthy forests—it depends on meaningful relationships between people and the natural world. The 10,000 Redwoods Program invites people to participate in restoration as an act of reciprocity: caring for the ecosystems that sustain us.

Through volunteer opportunities, educational partnerships, and community engagement, we hope to help people deepen their connection to the environment and recognize their role as stewards of the places they call home.

Sharing the Story Through Data and Learning

Restoration is a journey that unfolds over decades. Through Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping, photography, storytelling, and data collection, we are documenting that journey so our community can witness restoration in action.

By establishing baselines and tracking progress over time, we hope to transform data into an interactive learning experience—helping people understand where restoration is happening, how ecosystems are changing, and the collective impact of their participation.

Our mapping efforts will help us identify restoration opportunities, document historical and current planting sites, track partnerships, and communicate the ecological benefits of the work over time.

Looking Ahead

This first year is focused on building the foundation needed for long-term success. Our priorities include collecting locally sourced redwood seeds, expanding propagation efforts, identifying restoration opportunities, developing partnerships, and creating the systems needed to measure and communicate our impact.

Already, we are excited by the momentum building around the program. We have welcomed thought partners and critical friends, including Mia Monroe, Ben Anderson, and Matthew Ricards, who are helping strengthen the program through their expertise and perspectives.

We are also developing promising partnerships with organizations such as Forest Unlimited, Rancho Compasión, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and local schools. These collaborations reflect the diverse community needed to make restoration possible, from land stewards and educators to conservation practitioners and community members.

Our interns are also helping advance the program through GIS mapping, storytelling, and data collection, creating tools that will allow us to document this restoration journey and share it with the wider community.

As the 10,000 Redwoods Program continues to grow, so too does the community behind it. Whether through collecting seeds, planting trees, sharing knowledge, or supporting our work, every contribution helps restore not only redwood forests but also our relationship with the natural world. We look forward to sharing this journey with you.

When people think about environmental restoration, they often picture a single action: planting a tree, cleaning a beach, restoring a stream. While these actions matter, meaningful restoration requires much more than any one intervention. Ecosystems are interconnected, and the challenges they face are interconnected as well.

That understanding is one of the reasons I was drawn to Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN).

For nearly four decades, TIRN has approached conservation through an ecosystem lens. Protecting marine life is not simply about protecting what happens in the ocean. It requires policy change, scientific research, litigation, community engagement, education, and shifts in how people understand their relationship with the natural world.

After all, marine life does not recognize the borders, regulations, and systems that govern human societies. Yet it is profoundly affected by them. The health of our oceans is shaped by decisions made far upstream—in forests, watersheds, farms, communities, and government offices.

TIRN understands this interconnectedness. The organization has spent decades building partnerships, mobilizing grassroots supporters, engaging volunteers and interns, and advancing science-based solutions to some of our most pressing environmental challenges. Its work is informed not only by research, but by years of experience restoring ecosystems and advocating for their protection.

That same systems perspective makes redwood restoration a natural extension of TIRN’s mission.

Located in West Marin, an area once surrounded by towering redwood forests, TIRN is uniquely positioned to help restore a landscape that has been dramatically altered over the past two centuries. The organization maintains strong relationships with conservation agencies, environmental organizations, local landowners, and community members who all have a role to play in rebuilding healthy ecosystems.

Just as importantly, TIRN brings together the expertise needed to make restoration successful. From native plant knowledge and watershed restoration experience to systems thinking and community engagement, the organization understands that lasting change happens when ecological and human systems are strengthened together.

Why Redwoods?

Few trees capture the imagination quite like the coast redwood.

I often wonder what it must have felt like for the first settlers to encounter these forests. Towering hundreds of feet into the sky, surrounded by an abundance that seemed endless, redwoods provided shelter, lumber, transportation, and the raw materials that helped build communities throughout California.

What many people did not fully understand at the time was how long it takes for a redwood to become mighty.

Entire cities were built from these ancient forests. Today, only about five percent of old-growth coast redwoods remain.

For me, planting redwoods is, in many ways, an act of environmental reciprocity.

These trees have given so much to support human wellbeing. They have sheltered us, provided resources for us, and shaped the landscapes we call home. Caring for them now is an opportunity to reciprocate that relationship.

At the same time, our perception of redwoods has shifted.

People travel from around the world to stand among them—not for what they can take from them, but for what they can experience. Redwoods inspire awe, peace, reflection, and a sense of connection to something larger than ourselves.

That shift in perspective matters.

We are living in a time when concerns about climate change continue to grow, and many young people struggle to imagine a hopeful future. Environmental challenges can feel overwhelming, distant, and impossible to solve.

Planting a redwood offers a different story. It is a tangible act of hope.

Redwoods help stabilize watersheds, support biodiversity, improve ecosystem health, and capture significant amounts of carbon over their long lifespans. Mature redwoods possess remarkable resilience, including the ability to withstand and recover from wildfire. Their benefits extend far beyond the forests they inhabit.

Yet perhaps their greatest contribution is the mindset shift they inspire.

A redwood is planted not for today, but for generations to come. Planting one requires believing that the future matters and that our actions today can shape it.

Planting redwoods is about more than restoring trees. It is about strengthening relationships—between people and place, between communities and ecosystems, and between present generations and those who will inherit the world after us.

In that sense, every redwood planted is both an ecological investment and a declaration of hope.

And hope, when paired with action, can be a powerful force for restoration.

In early December, students in the 4th/5th combo class and the 7th grade class at Cascade Canyon Elementary School (Fairfax) joined the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN) at Samuel P. Taylor State Park to see spawning fish and to learn about salmon and redwoods. They also collected the redwood cones which they seeded out in their classroom this January.

The 7th grade is learning about nutrient cycling and were amazed to learn that at the end of their life cycle salmon bring nutrients from the ocean back to riparian zones, helping to fertilize plants such as redwood trees. The 4th/5th grade class is learning about native plant communities, and in addition to helping to seed redwoods, their class is growing a variety of pollinator plants. Some of the plants they are growing will go into their own schoolyard. Students will be able to observe germination and growth of the seedlings, and will donate most of the plants to SPAWN at the end of their school year.

Intern Skylar Lipman teaches the basics of ecological restoration

Also in January, all three classes of 4th graders at Glenwood Elementary (San Rafael) participated in seeding out redwoods. About 60 students participated, planting more than 4,000 seeds! Only about one in twelve seeds is viable, so if all goes well these students may grow more than 300 seedlings. Because we collect cones rather than individual seeds, the students were a great help in opening the cones, sometimes with the use of their feet. One fourth grader said that he now knows what he wants to do when he grows up – he wants to grow redwoods! When asked why, he replied, “I want to have a job where I can get dirty.”

Glenwood Elementary students seed redwoods

We will continue seeding redwoods with other partner schools and in the SPAWN nursery each Friday during volunteer days, from 10am to 1pm, over the next few weeks. For questions about volunteering in the nursery or about growing redwoods, please contact Nursery Manager Audrey Fusco via email at audrey@seaturtles.org.

NICASIO—Staff and volunteers of Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN) planted more than 300 redwood trees in Nicasio in January, expanding an effort to fight climate change and bring back endangered California redwood forests to Marin County, an ecosystem that has been reduced by 95 percent due to logging and development.

About 25 volunteers helped plant 325 redwood trees and companion plants on two properties in Nicasio to restore diverse, resilient ecosystems. The effort is part of 10,000 Redwoods, a project that aims to create a local carbon sink in the San Francisco Bay Area to combat climate change.

“We’re excited to expand our 10,000 Redwoods program into the nearby Nicasio Creek watershed, which was once dominated by redwoods that were more than 1,000 years old,” said Audrey Fusco, Nursery Manager of Turtle Island Restoration Network. “The seeds are collected and cut locally, and grown in our native plant nursery until they are ready for out-planting, so the redwoods we are planting are the local ecotype for the San Geronimo Valley and nearby areas such as Nicasio Valley.”

Due to overharvesting, only five percent of the original old-growth coast redwood trees remain, and they are listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. The loss of coastal redwoods in California also impacts critically endangered Coho salmon and other species. In 2015, TIRN launched the 10,000 Redwoods program to coincide with the Paris Agreement.

“Redwoods are a symbol of California and the conservation movement,” said Todd Steiner, Turtle Island Restoration Network Executive Director. “I think John Steinbeck said it best in his famous quote, ‘The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always…The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It’s not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.’”

Because they are fast growing, massive, long-lived, rot resistant, and easy to cultivate, planting redwoods are an important tool and critical in the fight against climate change. Redwood trees store more carbon per hectare than any other tree on Earth in their massive trunks and in their root system. Coastal redwood trees sequester triple the above ground carbon of any other type of tree, making them a key player in mitigating climate change. In addition to helping to sequester carbon and reclaiming land for redwood forest, the trees planted in Nicasio will help to stabilize an eroding creek bank and diversify habitat for wildlife.  

With the help of volunteers, interns, and elementary school students in Marin County, redwood seeds have been collected and germinated, and seedlings have been nurtured in SPAWN’s native plant nursery for three to four years. The volunteers who helped plant out these young trees ranged from Mel Wright, a 75-year-old Woodacre resident and regular TIRN volunteer, to a Fremont Elementary School student who came to help her mom plant trees. One middle school student came accompanied by her father, who originally planned to come along to support his daughter’s interest but then decided to plant one tree. Rather than stopping at one, he continued to plant all day. He later said this was the first time he’d ever planted a tree and he will come back to help again.

“Someday, centuries into the future, these trees will be towering giants that will make future generations stare up in awe,” said Preston Brown, TIRN’s Watershed Conservation Director.

Turtle Island Restoration Network is hosting two additional redwood planting events in February in Woodacre and Lagunitas. If you are interested in volunteering to help fight climate change and restore crucial habitat, please email Preston Brown at preston@seaturtles.org for more details and to RSVP.

A generous resident of West Marin has recently given SPAWN a wonderful new opportunity to help save Coho salmon: offering to match any contribution made to Salmon Protection and Watershed Network before January 31 – up to $50,000!

That means over the next few weeks, your generous gifts to SPAWN will be doubled. We will be able to continue advocating for the salmon and carrying our hands-on restoration, including the restoration of creekside habitat with native plants to bring back salmon and other wildlife.

Help us turn $50,000 into $100,000 in urgently needed funding to support our innovative Lagunitas Creek floodplain and streamside habitat restoration and reforestation efforts.

Together, we can prevent extinction of this iconic California salmon, and benefit a myriad of other endangered species, including the California freshwater shrimp, red-legged frog, and northern spotted owl. Double your gift today!

Turtle Island Restoration Network has sent a letter to Point Reyes National Seashore  (PRNS) to comment on its Environmental Impact Statement (GIS) for the General Management Plan (GMP) amendment for lease lands at Point Reyes National Seashore (PRNS) and the north district of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA).

In the letter, TIRN asks that the PRNS pursue investigations to provide additional scientific information on the ecological impacts discussed in this comment letter regarding each alternative described, including the impacts of cattle grazing on ecological processes and functions, as well as how the free-range Tule Elk are managed.

“Turtle Island Restoration Network believes that the priority for the GMP should be to improve native wildlife preservation, ecosystem health and function, and ecological integrity,” the letter reads.

In February 2016, litigation was brought against the NPS related to the ranch planning process and the ongoing use of lands within the planning area for ranching and dairying. The plaintiffs and the NPS, together with the ranchers and the County of Marin, entered into settlement negotiations in an effort to resolve the litigation. As referenced in the Supplementary Information section above, a multi-party Agreement was approved by the U.S. District Court on July 14, 2017. Per the Agreement, the NPS agreed that in lieu of the Ranch Comprehensive Management Plan, the NPS would prepare a GMP Amendment and EIS addressing the management of the lands currently leased for ranching within the Seashore and the north district of Golden Gate NRA.

“While Turtle Island Restoration Network does not support a specific Management Alternative at this time, our intention is to investigate the scientific impacts of grazing and dairy operations in their entirety on the native wildlife and ecosystems functions of the landscape within PRSN and GGNRA,” the letter says. “Furthermore, we support actions to improve the ecological health and integrity of the landscape, which includes free-roaming Tule Elk herds, without the practice of fencing, removal, hazing, sterilization, or killing of Elk.”

For Immediate Release: November 29, 2018

Marin County, CA — The Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN) is offering the Bay Area community an opportunity to experience one of Marin County’s most magnificent natural phenomena: the local population of endangered Coho salmon returning from the ocean to spawn.

Following the first hard rainfall each winter, wild Coho salmon return to their natal streams and can be observed spawning, or laying eggs. For more than 20 years, SPAWN has led Creekwalk Tours that explore the Lagunitas Creek Watershed—home to the largest remaining run of wild Central California Coast Coho—where people can witness endangered Coho salmon at the peak of their spawning season, trying to revive their diminishing populations that are threatened by human activity.

“Locally, wild Coho have experienced perilous declines over the past five decades,” said Preston Brown, SPAWN’s Director of Watershed Conservation. “Going on a Creekwalk Tour is the best chance for people to connect more deeply with the Coho’s struggle, and see firsthand the importance of saving this keystone species.”

Due to human-related activities including urbanization, degraded water quality, poor land use practices, logging, mining, dams and reservoirs, overharvesting of marine fisheries, and climate change, the population of Central California Coast Coho salmon has declined more than 95 percent from historic levels. Running through Marin County, Lagunitas Creek Watershed is one of the most important waterways left for these wild Coho salmon, supporting about 20 percent of the surviving fish in Central California.

Last year, the number of fish returning from the ocean to spawn was the fifth lowest since monitoring began 22 years ago. However, Brown says, the adults returning this year to spawn was an above average count of juveniles when they left for the ocean two years ago, with about 10,000 leaving the watershed.

“The hopes for seeing an above average number of fish returning this year are pretty high,” Brown said. “The more healthy fish the watershed produces, the more likely they are to survive in the ocean and return to spawn as adults. Our actions in the watershed affect that ability of young fish to survive—they need healthy habitats such as floodplains, streamside trees, large woody debris, and good water quality.”

To ensure Coho salmon remain part of the ecosystem for generations to come, SPAWN is currently undertaking their most ambitious habitat restoration project yet—restoring a one-mile-long stretch of river habitat within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The recently completed first phase of the project has re-created a large, dynamic floodplain that had been buried under 20 feet of dirt and cement for decades, obstructing critical habitat for Coho salmon and other wildlife including the endangered California freshwater shrimp and the threatened California red-legged frog.

“We’ve already seen a lot of juvenile Coho and Steelhead assembling in feeding lanes and behind large woody debris, which means fish are recognizing it as habitat,” Brown said. “They’re finding conditions they prefer—food, slow water, and cover from predators.”

In addition to seeing the remaining population of endangered Coho salmon, Creekwalk Tours explore native habitats and animals, the history of the watershed, and anything encountered along the way. Creekwalk Tours occur from December to January at the Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Lagunitas and are $15 per person. To learn more about Creekwalk Tours and to register, visit www.seaturtles.org/creekwalk.

SPAWN is offering free habitat enhancement consultations for homeowners living on creekside properties in the San Geronimo Valley. 

We can help address specific concerns that property owners may have about their creeks, the surrounding wildlife habitat, or other natural resource issues. Native and invasive plants can be identified and homeowners will have the opportunity to learn about the creek habitat and native plant communities that would naturally grow on their property. Through consultation, a conceptual plan for creek enhancement and vegetation restoration will be developed.

Additionally, we will provide ideas about how to improve habitat for fish and amphibians as well as for terrestrial wildlife such as birds and squirrels, beneficial insects such as dragonflies, and pollinators such as butterflies. Nearly all species of wildlife depend on riparian zones! Providing appropriate habitat to wildlife along riparian corridors keeps ecosystems healthy, providing benefits to homeowners as well as to wildlife.

Plants recommended for restoration through the consultation can be found at the SPAWN native plant nursery, which is currently growing a diverse array of 110 plant species. Our nursery has plants that represent all ecosystem communities found in the San Geronimo watershed including oak woodland, grassland, redwood forest, and riparian forests. Seedlings grown in the nursery are sourced right from the Lagunitas Creek watershed so they are adapted to the local conditions. The plants are being grown specifically for restoration projects and habitat enhancements. If a property owner chooses to source plants from SPAWN’s nursery, we ask for a donation in exchange for plants to help with the operation of the nursery.

The consultation will take approximately 1 to 2 hours to understand the homeowner’s concerns of the property, and discuss the concepts for habitat enhancement and restoration. If you are interested in taking up this opportunity please contact Preston Brown, Director of Watershed Conservation, at preston@tirn.net, or Audrey Fusco, Nursery Manager, at audrey@tirn.net.
