The Redwood National Park, California, United States
The great and amazing trees caresses for the morning fog when sometimes, through the shadow which is misty and long the past flowing you can imagine then. Across the North America of humid and lush flourishing the Redwood forest which is vast in size. Along the coast of the Pacific in the climate what was stunning here a last stand the final period of the ice age after. To the loggers falling the trees and in a process of continuous. Then vanishes the past in a moment of windswept and beside the other visitors of the forest you can stand now, at the tallest living things of the earth you can gazing up. For the Redwood National and State Park that is the main essence.
About two millions acres of land which covered once of a forest the remnants preserves it, the range of the Redwood which is narrow of the coast near the limit of the northern side the park and the 20th century at the turn by the logging this forest was threatened very badly. Hundreds of groves by acquiring to rescue this forest came the Save the Redwood League and the state of California itself and within the state parks of 26 protecting them. In 1968 it was created when by the national park were encompassed three state parks of the Redwood which were the Prairie Creek, Del Norte Coast and Jedediah Smith.
However, the redwood of the park which were protected threatened by the private land surrounding by the logging. Into the creeks and rivers from the over tracts of the logged washed away the sediments and soil, downstream to the bottom setting then. The redwoods can smother the deposits of slit which are vulnerable amazingly for these giants. And to the wind the resistance of the trees weakens the soil of waterlogged. As the depth only ten feet often their root and also shallow.
In 1978 what had been logged before about 36,000 acres of land including about 58,000 acres of land added with the national parks 48,000 acres of land by the Congress. For the roads of logging carved away the hillsides were being restored then, also were being erased of roads most of the 400 miles. To disappear of logging for the scars at least 50 years it will take and to the size of modest to grow for the seedling which replanted another 250 years or more it will take.
At the redwoods of staring to the traditional rite a new dimension has added the renaissance. To the giants at the hillsides shorn can look today the visitors of the park. There are crowds all the year round. The clogging crowds of highway draws the summer, so in the fall or spring about a visit in the Redwood you can plan. In the redwood groves enhance the migrations of the birds in these both seasons. In the spring burst forth the rhododendrons and in the fall add color the deciduous color. In winter the park drench because to the redwoods welcome the rains though not the visitors.
