Redwood forests are home to some of the tallest trees in the world, known as coast redwoods and giant sequoias. These trees can grow over 350 feet tall and live for more than 2,000 years. The forests are primarily found along the coast of northern California and southern Oregon, thriving in the moist, foggy climate. These ecosystems support diverse wildlife, including black bears, deer, and various bird species. The rich soil and unique microclimate create a habitat for many plants and animals, making redwood forests vital for biodiversity. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these ancient trees and their environment.
