Atlas Grove

Atlas Grove is a grove of Coast redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) within Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, in Humboldt County, northern California.

According to author Richard Preston, the Atlas Grove was discovered by naturalist Michael Taylor in 1991.

Trees in the stand were measured with tapes and laser range finders.

Wildlife in the grove was studied too, including the Wandering salamander (Aneides vagrans).

Other flora in the Atlas Grove includes: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), Bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), Cascara buckthorn (Rhamnus purshiana), California laurel (Umbellularia californica), Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), Port Orford–cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) and Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus).
