Animals and Plants of
the Redwood Forest

The Redwood Forest is home to many beautiful and fascinating
plants and animals. Redwood trees do not provide much
food for animals and its leaves make the soil toxic
for many plants. Therefore the plants that we find are
either endemic (found only in the redwood forest) because
they are adapted to this special ecological zone, or
are in areas of the redwood forest that are broken up
(areas where trees have fallen, the edges of the forest,
or the zone along the river). Most of the animals are
just passing through the forest but actually live elsewhere.
