Redwoods Rising is a joint venture of the Save the Redwoods League, California State Parks, and the National Park Service that works together to restore logged Coastal Redwood forests, and help remain old growth forests in Redwood National and State Parks. Redwoods Rising also works with local Native American tribes.[1][2] Redwoods Rising was founded in April 2018 at an event in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Redwood National and State Parks as 120,000 acres (49,000 ha) of public lands, 80,000 acres (32,000 ha) of this land were commercially logged in the past.[3] About 96 percent of the world's old-growth coast redwood forest has been logged. The works is been done in the California Coast Ranges in North Coast of California's Redwood forests.[4] Almost half (about 45 percent) of what remains is in the Redwood National and State Parks. The Redwoods Rising projects are also helping to restore the health of streams, also the fish and amphibians that live there. Coastal Redwoods are the tallest tree species on Earth. Coastal Redwood live only in the humid temperate rainforest of North Coast of California and Southern Oregon.[4][5] Redwood National and State Parks contain land and villages belonging to the Native American groups Yurok and Tolowa. Yurok Indian Reservation is partly in the park.[6]
