The redwood trees in the forest range from 400 to 800 years old and they are up to 250 feet tall. Flat trails that are easy to walk loop all through the trees so that visitors can get close to them. In between the tall redwoods, there are red alders, California big leaf maples, tanoaks, and Douglas Fir trees. The floor o f the forest is covered in ferns, fungi, duff, and debris. Duff is a thick layer of the forest floor that holds a lot of moisture and acts like mulch for the forest. There are a few bridges that cross the Redwood Creek, which flows through…
In the deep forest, there stands a tree beside a river. It is an ancient tree, standing tall against the sky. On its bows grow lush green leaves of thousandth generation. At its base, grey roots pile on top of one other like an old man's beard. A cicada lies on top of a root with its legs pointing uselessly at the sky.…
All three redwoods are descendents of a group of conifers (cone-bearing trees) that flourished more than 144 million years ago when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. At that time, the Earth's climate was warmer and more humid than it is today, so redwood species grew throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Over time and in response to an ever-changing environment, they retreated from most of their former range, and many once-abundant redwood species became extinct.…

A forest, also referred to as a wood or the woods, is an area with a high density of trees. As with cities, depending on various cultural definitions, what is considered a forest may vary significantly in size and have different classifications according to how and of what the forest is composed.[1] A forest is usually an area filled with trees but any tall densely packed area of vegetation may be considered a forest, even underwater vegetation such as kelp forests, or non-vegetation such as fungi,[2] and bacteria. Tree forests cover approximately 9.4 percent of the Earth's surface (or 30 percent of total land area), though they once covered much more (about 50 percent of total land area). They function as habitats for organisms,hydrologic flow modulators, and soil conservers, constituting one of the most important aspects of the biosphere.…

Old-Growth is a term used to describe forests that have not been subjected to the destruction of human hands or machinery. Old-growth forests have not gone through any forced alterations such as logging, burning etc. for over 100 to 150 years. Old forests are made up of a variety of aged trees, some young, some fully grown, and some expired trees that are still standing. These trees also provide habitation for an assortment of wildlife animals. One significant fact about these old forests is their ability to recover quickly from natural destruction such as windstorms or fires, however it can take decades to recover from the destruction of human hands such as logging. There is much controversy associated with the question of whether to leave these forests standing or cut them down and replace them with younger faster growing trees.…
