AI Overview
Here's some more information about the history of redwoods:
- Fossil recordThe first redwood fossils date back over 200 million years to the Jurassic period. Fossils have been found in Europe, including France, Switzerland, Austria, Bohemia, Germany, England, and Spitzbergen.
California's redwood forests
Before commercial logging began in the 1850s, California's coast was covered by an estimated 2 million acres of redwood forest. Today, less than 3% of that original forest remains.
Redwood species
The three remaining redwood species are coast redwoods, giant sequoias, and dawn redwoods.
Redwood habitat
Coast redwoods grow in a narrow band along the Pacific Coast, from central California to southern Oregon. They depend on a maritime climate for the stable temperature, moisture, and fog they need.
Redwood uses
Native California people used fallen redwoods to make planks for houses and canoes. They also used common redwood forest plants.

Last Natural Habitat Coast redwood's only natural habitat is right here on the Pacific Coast from Big Sur to southern Oregon 20.
Once redwoods had a much wider range across the Northern Hemisphere,
including western North America and the coasts of Europe and Asia 21.

Forests That Have Survived for Millions of Years
All three redwoods — Coast Redwoods, Giant Sequoias and China's Dawn Redwoods — are descendants of a group of conifers (cone-bearing trees) that flourished more than 144 million years ago when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

The coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is native to the coast of California and southern Oregon
and is the tallest tree on earth. The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron
