Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve, Protected forest reserve in Mendocino County, United States
Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve spans 2,743 acres of land with five separate groves of old-growth coastal redwood trees and extensive fern forests.
The reserve originated from a nine-acre land donation by Robert Orr in 1945, expanding through additional purchases from the Save the Redwoods League.
The reserve represents California's dedication to environmental preservation, maintaining natural habitats and protecting native ecosystems for future generations.
Visitors can follow a three-mile loop trail through the redwood groves, which takes approximately one hour to complete and includes boardwalks.
Between 1999 and 2004, the Mendocino Tree within the reserve held the title of world's tallest known tree.
