Redwood Wildfire Resilience Tour
Every guest is personally vetted and approved, as only three seats remain. We are prioritizing guests who can donate directly to our nonprofit and help us acquire and protect more at risk redwood forests, including our vision to purchase a 125 acre commercially zoned redwood parcel neighboring our forest and build a state of the art research and development station for redwood wildfire resilience.
Confirmed guests include wildfire leaders from one of California’s largest electric utilities, a world leading robotics company, a conservation tech lab working to prevent the sixth mass extinction, a sound wave fire suppression innovator, the founders of a plant music brand with over 100 million views in the past year, a climate investor, family offices, a conservation nonprofit leader and angel investor, and a mushroom expert and creator.
Attached is our flex itinerary. Times may shift by up to an hour in either direction as we fine tune logistics, and we will confirm final times with every approved guest. Here is the trip at a glance:
