Fwd: Help The Parks You Love Recover 🔥

Damage Was Done

As you are likely aware, on September 9, 2021,  a lightning storm ignited two fires in Sequoia National Park. They quickly merged to create the KNP Complex Fire.   Since then, it erupted with both low and high-intensity fire to nearly 90,000 acres. And while the fire has slowed its spread, it is likely to have damaged or ravaged many of the treasured giant sequoias that have stood for thousands of years.   The fire also severely compromised trails, destroyed several historic structures, affected countless trees, saturated the Kaweah River with ash and soot, incinerated critical habitat, and a great deal more.  RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION WORK IS GOING TO COST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Will you give generously to the KNP Complex Fire Recovery Fund for Sequoia National Park today? Your donation will support efforts to rebuild trails, protect sequoia groves and meadows, safeguard cultural and historic features, reestablish access to Crystal Cave, restore wildlife habitat, and more, as the park communicates its need. Every donation will be generously matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 by The Seller-Lehrer Family Foundation. We need you. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks need you. With our whole heart, thank you. *Ninety percent of every donation is restricted to the KNP Complex Fire Recovery Fund for Sequoia National Park.  ‌ ‌ ‌
