Who We Are
We love big trees—and the planet.
We are connecting people with coast redwoods and giant sequoias in the Pacific Northwest, assisting migration of these magnificent trees for climate adaptation and enhancing our region's resilience and natural beauty.
PropagationNation was founded by three Boeing retirees in 2019. Since then, we’ve facilitated the planting of thousands of coast redwood and giant sequoia saplings in more than 70 communities across 10 different Washington counties.
But we’re ready to do more—much more.
PropagationNation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our directors are unpaid.
Every dollar raised goes to furthering our mission.
