Long Meadow Grove

Long Meadow Grove is a protected forest containing giant sequoia trees across a large wooded area in California. The trees are hundreds of years old and stand as the dominant feature of the landscape due to their enormous size.

This forest received federal protection in 2000 as part of an important national recognition for the region. That designation marked a turning point in how these ancient woods were managed and valued.

This forest serves as a place where visitors can learn about giant trees and their role in nature through direct observation. Walking among these ancient trees helps people understand why old-growth forests matter to the wider landscape.

A walking path leads through the densest section of giant trees and provides easy access for most visitors. The trail is well maintained and can be completed by people of varying fitness levels without difficulty.

A giant sequoia and a cedar tree grow together at one location as a single integrated structure. This unusual natural fusion demonstrates an unexpected way that trees in this forest can develop side by side.
