Redwood National Park
Redwoods prefer sheltered slopes, and they thrive on moist flat ground along rivers below 1,000 feet (300 m) in elevation. Coastal fog provides about 40 percent of their annual water intake. Redwoods have existed along the coast of northern California for at least 20 million years and are related to tree species that existed 160 million years ago in the Jurassic era. About 96 percent of the world's old-growth coast redwood forest has been logged, and almost half (45 percent) of what remains is in the RNSP. The parks protect 38,982 acres (157.75 km2) of old-growth forest, almost equally divided between federal and state management. The International Union for Conservation of Nature named the coast redwood an endangered species in 2011.
