These parks are home to almost half of the world\u2019s remaining protected old-growth redwood forests, which store more carbon per acre than any other forests on Earth. They also safeguard imperiled salmon and trout, and rare creatures such marbled murrelets and the endangered western lily.   <\/p>\n<p>However, despite their ecological riches and stunning beauty, these forests are far from pristine. Approximately two-thirds of the parks\u2019 120,000 acres of redwoods bear the scars of industrial-scale commercial logging\u2014some of which took place as recently as the 1990s. Logging not only took away huge, old trees. It also left behind heavily damaged streams and hundreds of miles of old, failing roads and stream crossings.   <\/p>\n<p>These forests will not recover on their own in the foreseeable future. We must help. <\/p>\n<p>Redwoods Rising unites Save the Redwoods League, California State Parks, and the National Park Service to restore these previously logged forests, protect the parks\u2019 remaining old growth, and ensure the long-term health of these magnificent trees and all the plants, animals, and people who depend on them. Together with redwood enthusiasts, park visitors, local communities, and Tribes, we will bring back the vibrant forests of redwood giants that once blanketed these lands.
