Each January Forest Unlimited volunteers plant redwood seedlings in protected locations throughout Sonoma County. We want to thank all our volunteers for the many successful plantings over the years to help complete our mission to protect, enhance, and restore the forests and watersheds of Sonoma County. Forest Unlimited has been organizing volunteers to plant redwood and oak seedlings on protected properties throughout Sonoma County for more than a decade. Together we have planted more than 45,000 trees!
In 2025 we planted over 10,000 redwoods in several protected locations. We plan to match that in 2026.
