Sequoia ForestKeeper protects and restores southern Sierra Nevada ecosystems. Through monitoring, litigation, and education, SFK enforces laws and promotes stewardship to improve land management.
The Roadless Rule is a 30-year-old federal regulation that protects remote swaths of forests across the United States from road development.

Bear Cub Discovers Antler
Smells good. A chewable. A scratching post. A poke in your ear – watch out.

You can make your voice heard by contacting Sierra National Forest Supervisor Dean Gould and asking him to halt logging operations outside of the Kaiser Wilderness Roadless Area.

You can reach him by email at [email protected] or by phone at (559) 297-0706!

This bear cub is showing us the important role that fallen trees play in the ecosystems found in the Sierra Nevada.

When logging companies clear out these snags and the surrounding area, habitat is lost that is important to sustaining some of the most important species in the mountain range!

This is what a sea of greens truly means! All giant sequoias!

This is what making a comeback looks like after fire – no need for replanting.

Just walk, watch, and enjoy.

Footage taken in summer, 2025. Can’t wait to get back to Redwood Mt. Grove…

Home-hardening is the simple idea that protecting communities from wildfire starts with the home. If houses in fire-prone areas are not built to withstand heat and contact with flames, we’ve lost from the get-go. Not only the home itself, but the yard and area immediately surrounding the house too.

When forests are logged immediately after a wildfire, a practice known as salvage logging, native plants and animals are prevented from naturally regenerating burned areas as they have for millions of years. Logging operations remove what remains of the forest and replace it with tree plantations.

This fisher is on a mission! This log has been a regular haunt for 2 gray foxes for almost a week, and he can certainly smell them. Not to be trifled with, fishers are ferocious, one of California’s rarest carnivores.

This remote camera captured a glimpse of the fisher on January 16th, 2026.

The biodiversity of forests after wildfire is often a secret, as few people wander into forests that have been intensely burned, assuming it’s in ruins! If left unlogged, those forests make a quick comeback, and the wildlife responds within a few seasons.

A Red-Tailed Hawk enjoys some prey on a downed tree out in the Sequoias after a wildfire burn. Western forests evolved alongside wildfire for millions of years, and as you would expect, they have a robust system in place for regeneration. This video shows how important post-fire habitat can be!

An endangered fisher marks its territory in Freeman Creek Grove of giant sequoias – before the 2025 logging began. We left a remote camera in the location in hopes the small carnivores will remain in their territory, despite all the impacts of logging.a

Happy Holidays from the Sequoia Forest Keeper team! 

We are extremely grateful for your support throughout 2025, which has allowed us to track logging in the Sequoias, advocate for the forest, and bring legal challenges to environmentally harmful logging projects.

Happy Friday everyone, get outside and enjoy the forests if you have the opportunity!
