Sequoia sempervirens description Mature seed cones on sun foliage, from Humboldt Redwoods State Park [C.J. Earle]. Redwood is one of the few vegetatively reproducing conifers, readily regenerating from stump sprouts in the wake of a major disturbance (typically fire). One peculiar consequence of this is the occurrence of 'white redwoods' (see photo), which are trees that originate as root sprouts and are competely nonphotosynthetic, deriving all of their carbohydrate from the roots of their photosynthetic associates (which are not necessarily related, as root grafting is common between redwoods). www.botanik.uni-bonn.de /conifers/cu/se/index.htm

California Guide - Redwood National Park This is an easy one mile loop past the national park dedication site deep in the forest, placed at a ceremony in 1968 attended by the then president's wife. First point of interest along the drive is Redwood Creek itself, and a side track leads to a trailhead from which a path follows the creek for 8 miles and links with other trails that wind through the dense forested slopes at either side. This path passes countless mature redwoods mixed with equally impressive Douglas firs with lots of undergrowth, bushes, downed trees, and Spanish moss hanging from many of the branches, all enveloped by a general air of peace and stillness. www.americansouthwest.net /california/redwood/redwood_np.html

Redwood National Park Three redwood state parks— Jedediah Smith, Del Norte Coast, and Prairie Creek—were encompassed by the national park when it was created in 1968. The park, near the northern limit of the coast redwood's narrow range, preserves the remnants of a forest that once covered two million acres and, at the turn of the century, was badly threatened by logging. The raw, clear-cut land, a park official wrote, had "the look of an active war zone." Today, in an epic earthmoving project—a redwood renaissance—crews are beginning to reclaim vast stretches of logged-over lands. www.national-parks.biz /national_park/redwood

Redwood National Park It is the moisture and the climate which makes the giant redwood trees possible, and this same moisture in the form of ponds, streams, rivers, and wetlands also makes for many beautiful and interesting places within the park. The park contains many ponds, creeks, and wetlands, including three large rivers--the Smith River in the North, the Klamath River in the central portion of the park, and Redwood Creek near the south border. The Roosevelt elk is the largest species of the North American elk, other varieties of which can be seen in national parks like Yellowstone. www.shannontech.com /parkvision/Redwood/Redwood2.html

About the Trees To download a perspective map of the redwoods' range (in Adobe PDF format), visit the National Park Service Digital Maps web site. The coast redwood environment recycles naturally: because the 100-plus inches of annual rainfall leaves the soil with few nutrients, the trees rely on each other, living and dead for their vital nutrients. And of course, the redwoods themselves eventually fall to the floor where they can be returned to the soil. www.nps.gov /redw/trees.html

Big Tree Drive-Thru, Avenue of the Giants, California (more Cross-sections of Time can be found at Muir Woods and other tree National Parks, but the Redwood Highway has the biggest concentration). Early Redwood promoters arrived one step ahead of the conservationists, and tunneled through the base of select giants, charging tourists for the privilege of making the twenty foot journey from one side of a tree to the other without having to go around it. Opportunistic pavement curves between massive redwood pillars, while motes of light blind the driver, and the goal is to find a pull-off that isn't already jammed with RVs and minivans. www.roadsideamerica.com /attract/CAPHItree.html
