<b>Welcome to the Lady Bird Johnson Grove Nature Trail</b><br /> <br /> This 1.5mile (2.4km) loop winds through an old-growth redwood forest. This grove, like many others in Redwood National and State Parks, stands as a reminder of the extensive redwood forests that one blanketed the Pacific Coast from southern Oregon to Big Sur, California. Intense logging from 1850 through the present reduced these once endless forests to a fraction of their original expanse. Today, less than four percent of the old-growth redwood forests remain.<br /> <br /> Remnant old-growth forests persist. They persist because water, wind, fire, and light shepherd the forest through infinite centuries of birth, growth, death, and regeneration - without human interruption.<br /> <br /> Enter a place where time is measured in centuries and millennia. Here, majestic redwoods stand as regal as they did when our ancestors first gazed skyward into the dark canopy. The forest changes slowly here, yet it is forever reborn. We are only passing witnesses to the ongoing progression of life among these quiet giants.<br /> <br /> <em>Please remember that flowers and plants in Redwood National and State Parks are protected by law. Do not pick wildflowers or vegetation, so all park visitors can enjoy them. Report vandalism or theft to the nearest visitor center or park ranger.</em>
