Bald Cypress Circle
Bald cypress trees are among the oldest living wetlands trees on Earth, with some individuals in the eastern United States documented at more than 2,600 years old. They anchor entire ecosystems, quietly sustaining life above and below the waterline.
Members of the Bald Cypress Circle give $2,500 or more annually, an amount that closely reflects the average cost of identifying, documenting, and welcoming a single forest into the Old-Growth Forest Network.
As a member, you’ll receive:
Recognition as a member of The Old-Growth Society in our Annual Report
First year welcome gift: Nature’s Temples
Exclusive insider progress reports and webinars with OGFN leadership
Invitations to extraordinary experiences in old-growth forests, guided by OGFN staff and partners**
**Personal travel expenses required
Experience extraordinary old-growth forests, by land and by water.
