| Comprising Redwood National Park (established 1968) and California's Del Norte Coast, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks (dating from the 1920s), the combined RNSP contain 139,000 acres (560xc2xa0km2),[1] and feature old-growth temperate rainforests. | WIKI |
| The National Park Service (NPS) and the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR) administratively combined Redwood National Park with the three abutting Redwood State Parks in 1994 for the purpose of cooperative forest management and stabilization of forests and watersheds as a single unit. | WIKI |
| The ecosystem of the RNSP preserves a number of threatened animal species such as the tidewater goby, Chinook salmon, northern spotted owl, and Steller's sea lion, though it is believed that the tidewater goby is likely to have been extirpated from the park. | WIKI |

| Modern day native groups such as the Yurok, Tolowa, Karok, Chilula, and Wiyot all have historical ties to the region, and some Native American groups still live in the park area today. | WIKI |
| [9] Two village sites of the Chilula (Howunakut and Noieding), who primarily settled along Redwood Creek in the Bald Hills to Minor Creek, California, are located within the contemporary boundaries of the park. | WIKI |
| As California created a state park system, beginning in 1927, three of the preserved redwood areas became Prairie Creek Redwoods, Del Norte Coast Redwoods, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Parks. | WIKI |
| A fourth became Humboldt Redwoods State Park, by far the largest of the individual Redwood State Parks, but not in the Redwood National and State Park system. | WIKI |
| This expansion protected the watershed along Redwood Creek from being adversely affected by logging operations outside the park. | WIKI |
| It also cited ongoing research in the park by Humboldt State University researchers, among others. | WIKI |
| [18] The park is part of a much larger region designated the California Coast Ranges International Biosphere Reserve on June 30, 1983. | WIKI |
| Scenes set on the forest moon Endor in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi were filmed on private logging company land that was shortly thereafter clearcut near the town of Smith River, California north of the park and, south of the park, the speeder chase scene at the Chetham Grove section of Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park. | WIKI |
| [20] Scenes for The Lost World: Jurassic Park as well as the movie Outbreak were filmed at the nearby Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and Patrick's Point State Park. | WIKI |
| Park management[edit] | WIKI |
| Redwood National and State Parks consists of Redwood National Park, directly managed by the U.S. Government's National Park Service (NPS) and Jedediah Smith, Del Norte Coast and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks overseen by the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR). | WIKI |
| [21] There are five visitor and interpretive centers located in or adjacent to the park, including the Hiouchi, Jedediah Smith, Prairie Creek and Thomas H. Kuchel visitor centers as well as the Crescent City Information Center at the park headquarters location. | WIKI |
| Coast redwoods are the tallest trees on Earth; as of September 2006, the tallest tree in the park was Hyperion at 379.1 feet (115.5xc2xa0m), followed by Helios and Icarus which were 376.3 feet (114.7xc2xa0m) and 371.2 feet (113.1xc2xa0m) respectively. | WIKI |
| Before September 2006, the tallest living specimen known was the Stratosphere Giant, outside the park in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, which was 370 feet (110xc2xa0m) in 2004. | WIKI |
| The California rhododendron and azalea are flowering shrubs common in the park, especially in old-growth forest. | WIKI |
| Numerous ecosystems exist, with seacoast, river, prairie, and densely forested zones all within the park. | WIKI |
| Roosevelt elk are the most readily observed of the large mammals in the park. | WIKI |
| [32] Successful herds, brought back from the verge of extinction in the region, are now common in park areas south of the Klamath River. | WIKI |
| The spotted knapweed and poison hemlock are both under consideration for addition to a high priority watch list maintained by the park system. | WIKI |
| The northern coastal region of California, which includes RNSP and the adjacent offshore area, is the most seismically active in the U.S.[36] Frequent minor earthquakes in the park and offshore under the Pacific Ocean have resulted in shifting river channels, landslides, and erosion of seaside cliffs. | WIKI |
| [37] The park ensures that visitors are aware of the potential for a major earthquake through the use of pamphlets and information posted throughout the parks. | WIKI |
| Both coastline and the Coast Ranges can be found within park boundaries. | WIKI |
| In some areas, river systems have created fluvial deposits of sand, mud, and gravel, which are transported into the park from upstream. | WIKI |
| In the park, a fire management plan monitors all fires, weather patterns and the fuel load (dead and decaying plant material). | WIKI |
| However, nearby towns such as Klamath, Requa, and Orick provide small hotels and inns, with extensive lodging options available in the regional trading centers of Crescent City on the northern end of the park and Arcata and Eureka located to the south. | WIKI |
| The park is about 260 miles (420xc2xa0km) north of San Francisco, and 300 miles (480xc2xa0km) south of Portland, Oregon; U.S. Route 101 passes through it from north to south. | WIKI |
| While the state parks have front country campsites that can be driven to, the federal sections of the park do not, and hiking is the only way to reach back country campsites. | WIKI |
| The park has three visitor centers, where guided nature walks and general information are available, along with two additional information points. | WIKI |
| The legislation expanding the park called for a watershed rehabilitation program to restore the damage caused by clearcutting. | UNESCO |
| Uncut old growth forests in the site are being afforded maximum protection under laws and policies governing the management of all U.S. National Park Service units and California State Parks (CSP). | UNESCO |
| The National Park Service and California State Parks are developing plans to restore second growth forests and to shorten the time needed for logged forests to re-attain characteristics of late seral forests. | UNESCO |
| The watershed rehabilitation program has removed several hundred km of old logging roads that threatened the integrity and function of park watersheds. | UNESCO |
| Redwood National and State Parks continue to work with private landowners to reduce threats to park resources by reducing the impacts from poorly constructed and maintained logging roads outside park boundaries. | UNESCO |
| In establishing Redwood National Park with the three State Parks embedded within its boundaries, Congress established a federal park with a total acreage of 22,646 hectares. | UNESCO |
| In 1978, Congress expanded the park to protect irreplaceable redwood forests from damaging upslope and upstream land uses. | UNESCO |
| Congress acquired 19,281 hectares for a total park size of 41,927 hectares. | UNESCO |
| Since 1980, the park boundary has been modified a number of times, most notably in 1981, 1985, 2000, and 2005. | UNESCO |
| In May 1994, the National Park Service and the California Department of Parks and Recreation signed a Cooperative Management Agreement to manage the four park units cooperatively as Redwood National and State Parks. | UNESCO |
| Redwood National Park is managed under the authority of the National Park Service Organic Act which established the United States National Park Service. | UNESCO |
| In addition, the park has specific enabling legislation which provides broad congressional direction regarding the primary purposes of the park. | UNESCO |
| Numerous other federal laws bring additional layers of protection to the park and its resources. | UNESCO |
| Day to day management is directed by the Park Superintendent. | UNESCO |
| In addition, both the National Park Service and California State Parks have established Management Policies which provide broader direction for all National Park Service units and California State Park units, including Redwood National and State Parks. | UNESCO |
| The Klamath I&M network, of which Redwood is a part, has developed several xe2x80x9cvital signsxe2x80x9d to track a subset of physical, chemical and biological elements and processes selected to represent the overall health or condition of park resources. | UNESCO |
| Park managers conduct planning and park operations with input and support from partners including scientific and educational institutions such as Humboldt State University, NGOs including Save the Redwoods League and Smith River Alliance, local land managers and stakeholders, and indigenous peoples, including the Yurok Tribe, Tolowa Dee-nixe2x80x99 Nation, and Elk Valley Rancheria. | UNESCO |
