A Walk in the Redwoods

The Redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) are the tallest trees in the world.  They have a very limited natural range along the Pacific Coast: from Monterey County to the southern part of Oregon, 470 miles.

The redwoods live along the fog belt, 5 to 47 miles from the ocean. 

This trunk is scorched by fire.

They can survive a forest fire.

Their habitat is a foggy, moist place.


With streams, ferns,

horsetails (Equisetum hyemale),

mosses and Banana Slugs (Ariolimax californicus.)
