Donors from San Mateo County and around the world have raised $543,000 for Big Basin Redwoods State Park to assist recovery efforts following damages from the CZU Lightning Complex Fire in August. Sempervirens Fund and Save the Redwoods League, two nonprofits dedicated to protecting redwoods in the Bay Area, collected donations from the public through the Big Basin Recovery Fund. Both organizations then donated the money to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Sempervirens Fund said around 200 of its more than 1200 donations have come from San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. The park has been closed since fire season when most of the park and its facilities were damaged. Cal Fire CZU Unit Chief Ian Larkin announced just this week that the fire was officially under control, meaning it is fully extinguished, and there is no longer any danger of reignition.
