Comprising at least 38,982 acres, The Redwood National and State parks together protect almost 45% of all remaining Costal Redwood trees. These parks are located entirely in Del Norte and Humboldt counties.

Coastal Redwoods are the tallest trees in the world. They grow to nearly 380 feet and can for live up to 2,000 years and are one of two different species of redwoods.

In the Orick area of the park is a grove that is dedicated to Lady Bird Johnson. It was here that in 1968 she dedicated the national park.

Just outside of San Francisco is another area dedicated to the preservation of the Costal Redwoods. This area is Muir Woods. A national monument as opposed to a national park, it is named after John Muir, a preservationist and one of the founders of the Sierra Club. Muir is responsible for helping to create many of the national parks in the western United States.
