The Save - The -
Redwoods League was founded in 1918 by Boone and Crockett Club
members Madison Grant, John C. Merriam, and Henry Fairfield Osborn.
In 1918 after realizing how much of the old - growth forests closer to San Francisco had been harvested, Boone and Crockett Club
members formed the Save - the -
Redwoods League, and began working to preserve
redwood forests in the region, including the area that became Humboldt
Redwoods State Park.
