Redwood National Park, along with three partnering state parks, helps to protect about 45% of all remaining coast redwood old-growth forest, including the tallest trees in the world. Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek Redwoods and Jedediah Smith Redwood State Parks were founded in the 1920s, when it became clear that the last remaining old-growth redwood forest was going to disappear due to unrestricted clear-cut logging.
