Redwood Stats

  • Of the original 2 million acres of ancient coast redwood forest, approximately 95% has been logged.
  • Today, fewer than 106,000 acres (5%) of these ancient coast redwood forests remain.
  • Most areas that were ancient redwood forests 200 years ago are second- or third-growth redwood forests today. There is an urgent need to restore original habitats in these forests to protect imperiled species that rely on old-growth ecosystems.
  • Approximately 18% of existing coast redwood forests is in a park or reserve. The remaining 82% may be logged because it is either held privately or in a national forest.
  • Since 1918, Save-the-Redwoods League has protected more than 180,000 acres of California land.

Only 5% of old growth redwood forests remain 82% of redwood forests are unprotected
