Sequoia Sentinels™ seeks to bring people together in learning about sequoia trees. We understand that many individuals are eager to propagate these giants because of their beauty and longevity, as they provide vital habitats, stabilize soil, sequester carbon, and offer much more.
Our mission
Plant
Our first goal is cultivating the growth of sequoia trees across private lands and forests in Southern California, focusing particularly on the picturesque Palomar Mountain region.
Build community
We seek to mobilize the active participation of local communities, schools, nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies in a unified endeavor to plant and nurture sequoia trees.
Educate
Our third goal is to educate people through various webinars that are also fun to participate in. We want you to learn and have a good time.
