From Forest's Edge to the Edge of Extinction

Sheltered in a soft nest of moss and ferns, a marbled murrelet chick waits silently atop a massive redwood branch high above the forest floor.

Climate

Oceanic influences ensure fairly constant year-round temperatures along California's redwood coast: generally mid-40s to low-60s degrees Fahrenheit. From October through April, winter storms dump the majority of 70 inches of average annual precipitation over the region. During the drier summer, fog shrouds the North Coast in life-sustaining moisture.

Did You Know?
Common in the redwood forest, ravens often scavenge food scraps found in campgrounds. Once they find an easy food source, they constantly fly over that area in search of food. Unfortunately, they may come across a marbled murrelet nest and eat the egg or chick! Please store all food items properly.
