Redwoods Forest
Redwoods Forest is a forest of naturalised Californian coastal redwood on the outskirts of Rotorua, New Zealand. The 6 hectares (15 acres) stand of Californian Redwood trees were planted at the beginning of the 20th century as part of a programme to assess the viability of various exotic tree species for commercial forestry in New Zealand. Subsequently these trees have grown faster than in their native homeland due to the richer soil and higher rainfall in the area, reaching over 70 metres (230 ft) height only 100 years later. The stand of trees is now protected and has become very popular for recreational use.
