Greetings from Redwood National & State Parks

As a child I was in awe when family vacationed there. Have taken trips off and on and now in mid 70’s find peace, balm for the heart, feel like healing in God’s garden. The air, the smells, the sturdiness of the trees, the colors - all gifts from God, all a link to history, all priceless and precious. We need them!

Sincerely,

Redwood National & State Parks

Redwood National and State Parks protect a primeval landscape where the world’s tallest living organisms, towering coast redwoods, thrive. Visitors can feel small as they stroll in the shadows of these enormous trees and explore rocky undeveloped beaches, fern studded canyons, open prairie, oak woodlands, and fog-filled river valleys. These diverse habitats support myriad wildlife and plants, including several rare species.
