Headwaters Forest Reserve

Posted on | July 11, 2008 | 2 Comments

2nd Growth Redwood Trees, Headwaters Forest Reserve, California Photo: 2nd Growth Redwood Trees, Headwaters Forest Reserve, California

The pictures in my previous two posts were examples of old-growth redwood forests. This is an example of a 2nd growth forest that was clear-cut in the 20th century. They almost bare no resemblance to each other.

Most of the Headwaters Forest is owned by the Pacific Lumber Company. After numerous battles in court, a small portion of old-growth forests were ceded to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and is now partially open to the public. This was taken along the Elk River trailhead, just outside of Eureka.
