 Apart from their outstanding beauty and botanical significance the Redwoods are a lasting memorial to the many foresters and forest workers who battled the weather, remoteness and scrub to reclaim the land abandoned by earlier farming and return it to productive use.But two individuals stand out, Frank Smith, the District Forester and Officer in Charge of the Aire Valley Plantations from 1929 to 1955, together with Forest Overseer Stewart Cameron who worked from 1940 to the early 1970s.The largest Redwood on the plot is known as the Smith-Cameron Tree and is named after these two pioneering Forests Commission employees.
