What is Headwaters Forest and whats so special about it?
Headwaters is the best piece left of the remaining unprotected old-growth redwood forest in the world. At one time, old growth redwood forest stretched unbroken from Big Sur in north-central California up into southern Oregon. Industrial logging over the past 150 years has decimated this ecosystem, and today only 3% of the original redwood forest remains unlogged. It took thousands of years for the forest to reach its level of complexity and vitality. With its web of unique plants and animals, it is absolutely irreplaceable. This is why we locked down and didn’t unlock even after getting pepper sprayed.
