The Giant Of The Forest
Fog in the Forest |
Coast Redwoods occur along the North American Pacific coastline, mainly in northern California and in the coastal region of south-west Oregon. Coast Redwoods need environments with lots of rain and are subjected to up to 100 inches a year in some parts of their natural range. Although having once thought to have occupied an area of more than 2 million acres, the Coast Redwoods are today confined to a small 470 mile long strip of the Pacific coast.
Threatened Spotted Owl |
The tallest and oldest specimens are most commonly found in moist, foggy valleys where there is a year round water supply, such as a stream or small river, coupled with a high annual rain fall. These evergreen forests also support a wide variety of wildlife including all kinds of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates, many of which are either unique to the region, or are now threatened and very rare (such as the Northern Spotted Owl).
