Redwood Trees The redwood trees of the northern and north central California coast are the tallest trees on earth. A relative of the sequoias found in Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite National Parks, these trees are not as wide as sequoias at the base, as large, or as long-lived, but they are considerably taller.
Located entirely within Del Norte and Humboldt Counties, the four parks, together, protect 45% of all remaining coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) old-growth forests, totaling at least 38,982 acres (157.75 km2). These trees are the tallest and one of the most massive tree species on Earth. In addition to the redwood forests, the parks preserve other indigenous flora, fauna, grassland prairie, cultural resources, portions of rivers and other streams, and 37 miles (60 km) of pristine coastline.
