Why Watersheds Matter

Join us at Humboldt Redwoods State Park as we learn why the tallest trees in the world rely on the Eel River watershed. California’s third largest state park is home to the largest contiguous old growth redwood forest in the world. Each tree can drink hundreds of gallons of water each day! In this 45 minute program, we will discover watershed basics, signs of a healthy watershed, and the relationship between coast redwoods and the Eel River. Together, we will uncover why watersheds matter and ways we can all keep these ecosystems clean and healthy.
