Redwood forests are home to some of the tallest trees in the world, known as redwood trees. These trees can grow over 350 feet tall and live for more than 2,000 years. They thrive in the coastal regions of California and Oregon, where the climate is cool and moist, providing ideal conditions for their growth. The unique ecosystem of redwood forests supports a diverse range of wildlife, including birds, mammals, and various plant species. The thick canopy formed by the towering trees creates a shaded environment, allowing for a rich understory of ferns and shrubs. These forests play a crucial role in carbon storage and biodiversity conservation.
