==History==
Preservation of the Redwood stands in California is considered one of the most substantial conservation contributions of the Boone and Crockett Club. The Save-The-Redwoods League was founded in 1918 by Boone and Crockett Club members Madison Grant, John C. Merriam, and Henry Fairfield Osborn. The initial purchases of land were made by Club member Stephen Mather and Mr. William Kent. In 1921, Boone and Crockett Club member Dr. John C. Phillips donated $32,000 to purchase land and create the Raynal Bolling Memorial Grove in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
