Trees Foundation
December 18, 2009


In this issue we highlight the Cereus Fund, Trees Foundation's largest and longest-running donor-advised grantor. Over the past eleven years, the Cereus Fund has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to grassroots environmental projects throughout the redwood region. Showcasing the ability of one person to make a lasting difference, the Cereus Fund has helped enable restoration and preservation throughout California's North Coast.

With a focus on grassroots solutions and sustainable communities, the Cereus Fund donor has empowered a wide range of strategies and tactics as part of a vision of holistic recovery for our globally unique north coast. More than one hundred projects have benefited from the vision and commitment of the Cereus Fund, especially Trees Foundation itself.

Many of the projects you read about in every issue of Forest and River News, including this issue, have benefited from this individual donor's dedication and generosity. On behalf of the forests, rivers, wildlife, and grassroots activists of the north coast--we offer our sincere gratitude.
