As you will read below, relatively few coast redwoods are left.
Amazing! The coast redwood is
the world's tallest living organism. It has survived since the Mesozoic era, when dinosaurs once roamed
the world. One hundred to 150 million years ago there were forests of coast redwoods in China, across
the western half of North America and into Greenland and Europe. Significant weather changes have reduced
their range to a 30-mile-wide coastal strip, from just across the Oregon border, south 500 miles to California's
Big Sur coast.
