Beranek Redwoods Series: Humboldt Redwoods

This book by Jerry Beranek is about Humboldt Redwoods State Park which situated in southern Humboldt County along the South and Main Fork of the Eel River. The crowning feature of this redwood park is its superlative river-flat groves. There’s no other redwood park in California like Humboldt Redwoods.

The old-growth groves along the South Fork of the Eel stretch for 18 miles from Phillipsville to the Forks. From where they continue for 12 more miles along the Main Fork to Pepperwood, and then there’s 5 more miles of contiguous groves in Bull Creek. There’s a lot in H.R.S.P.!

The efforts of Save the Redwoods to preserve northern California’s old-growth redwoods began with this park, and the story of how they planned-out and managed this incredible feat is told through the pages in this book.
