Redwood National Forest is comprised of the official Redwood National Park and Redwood State Park and located in northern California. Although the Redwood forest once exceeded two million acres (8,100 sq km), mining and logging has reduced the forest down to the current protected areas which cover a collective area of 131,983 acres (534.12 sq km). The Redwood forest runs along 37 miles (60 km) of the northern California coastline.
The Redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, are the tallest trees in the world. Apart from the grandeur of the trees, the Redwood National Forest also provides protection to several threatened species that include: Northern Spotted Owl, Brown Pelican, Tidewater Goby, Bald Eagle, Steller's Sea Lion, and the Chinook Salmon.
