Old Growth Redwood Forest and Fog

California, USA

The global importance of Redwood National Park was recognized by the United Nations in 1980 by designating the park a World Heritage Site. The Coast Redwood, (Sequoia sempervirens), is native to the Pacific Coast from southern Oregon to central California, extending to not more than 50 miles inland.
They are the world’s tallest living things with some trees growing to greater than 360 feet. The name, Sequoia sempervirens, is Latin for "ever living", which is an appropriate name given that many trees are 600 to 1200 years old.

An acre of old growth redwood sequesters more carbon as biomass than an acre of any other forest on earth approximating seven times as much as a tropical rain forest. They are centers of biodiversity, containing lush carpets of sorrel, mosses and ferns on the forest floor, multiple animal species, and a surprising, hidden ecosystem high above the ground.
