Hobo Cedar Grove Botanical Area, Protected botanical area in St. Joe National Forest, Idaho, United States
The 240-acre grove contains Western Red Cedar trees reaching heights of over 100 feet, surrounded by Oregon boxwood and Lady-fern species.
The forest earned National Natural Landmark status in 1980, preserving centuries-old cedar trees that began growing before European exploration of North America.
Scientists and researchers frequently visit the grove to study the relationships between old-growth forests and regional ecosystem preservation methods.
Two interconnected trails totaling 1.5 miles guide visitors through the forest, with numbered posts identifying plant species and ecological features.
The grove maintains 77 different plant species and 10 tree varieties within its boundaries, creating a concentrated display of Pacific Northwest vegetation.
