Board Designated Funds

Save our State Parks Fund: This fund provide funding to restore reduced services in our parks and helps Stewards work towards securing a sustainable funding source for our parks into the future.

Habitat Preservation and Restoration Fund: This fund helps Stewards with restoration projects in Armstrong Redwoods SNR, Austin Creek SRA and Sonoma Coast SP. Restoring the Willow Creek watershed, one of our ongoing stewardship projects, is supported by this fund. We continue to collaborate with both public and private partners to plan and pay for projects, which: remove invasive species; provide habitat assessments and stream enhancements to protected watersheds; and other resource management projects.

Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve Endowment: A small endowment has been established to provide funding for Armstrong Redwoods SNR into perpetuity. Your donation will support interpretation and resource management for this magnificent old-grove redwood forest.


Honorary and Memorial Gifts

Stewards also provides opportunities for you to make donations in honor or memory of friends and family members. Donations are always acknowledged with a receipt and when appropriate family members are notified when a donation has been made to honor or memorialize a loved one.
