The Redwood National Park is one of four parks in that area that, together, protect 45% of what's left of the remaining Coastal Redwood forests. These trees (Sequoia sempervirens) are the tallest and one of the most massive on what's left of our Earth. The park itself was created in 1968, after 90% of the original trees had been cut down.

In 1980, the United Nations declared the four-park region to be a World Heritage Site. In 1983, they declared it to be an International Biosphere Reserve.

In 1910, it became obvious that the Redwood trees were about to disappear due to the huge demand for lumber at that time. Paleontologists Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History, Madison Grant of the New York Zoological Society, and John C. Merriam of the University of California at Berkeley founded the Save-the-Redwoods League in 1918. The league raised money through donations and matching funds to buy over 100,000 acres of redwood forest in the years between 1920 and 1960. Those funds helped establish the redwood preserves of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.

Creating a Redwood National Park was a goal of the Save-the-Redwoods League from its beginning and the park was finally established in 1968 due to the efforts of the Save-the-Redwoods League.
