A full moon rises above the Eel River in Humboldt Redwood State Park. The 2,600-acre Eel River Wildlife Area is home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, including salt marsh, pasture, and wet meadow.

The Usal Redwood Forest extends 50,000-acres off the California coastline. The mix of redwoods, Douglas firs, oak woodlands, and streams are teeming with wildlife.

The California Federation of Women's Club Grove is located on the Avenue of the Giants, a scenic stretch of highway in Northern California that runs through Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

One of California’s first redwood parks, Richardson Grove State Park was established in 1922. The park is home to coast redwoods that tower more than 300 feet tall, and a national river where visitors can swim and catch-and-release fish.

Historically, the Eel River Wildlife Area was used for dairy farming and cattle ranching. Today it is a protected area, home to raptors, tundra swans, waterfowl, fox, deer, and river otters.
