Coast redwood

The Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is a species of tall, majestic evergreen tree native to the coastal regions of northern California and southern Oregon. Known for their incredible height, they can reach over 350 feet tall, making them the tallest trees on Earth. They have reddish-brown bark that is deeply furrowed and needle-like leaves. These trees prefer moist, foggy environments that help sustain their growth. Coast redwoods play a vital role in their ecosystem, supporting wildlife and storing large amounts of carbon, which helps mitigate climate change. They are also valued for their durable timber and are popular in parks and conservation efforts.
