Redwood National and State Parks as 120,000 acres (49,000 ha) of public lands, 80,000 acres (32,000 ha) of this land were commercially logged in the past. [3] About 96 percent of the world's old-growth coast redwood forest has been logged. The work is being done in the California Coast Ranges in North Coast of California's Redwood forests. [4]
