Coast redwood photograph by Daniel R. Hadley.
Three species of trees are commonly referred to as redwoods: California's coast redwood and giant sequoia, and China's dawn redwood. For those who have had the chance to stand in a redwood grove, there are few life experiences that match it. Even if you have only ever seen a photo of the few ancient redwood forests left, it's hard to imagine life on our planet without these awesome and majestic places. We can all agree that there are some places on Earth that are so special that they are worth saving. That's why there is such strong support for protecting redwood lands.
