The Redwood National and State Parks is a group of several state parks and one national park located in California. As the name suggest, it was set up to protect the remaining redwood forests.
The redwood trees are one among the tallest, oldest, and one of the most massive tree species on Earth. Along with the redwood forests, the parks preserve other indigenous flora, fauna, grassland prairie, cultural resources, portions of rivers and other streams, and 60 kilometres of pristine coastline.
The Redwood National and State Parks is made of the Redwood National Park and California’s Del Norte Coast, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks. At the time when these parks were set up, almost 90 per cent of the native redwood trees were logged off. The revival works are progressing successfully.
