It is the last remnant of an ancient redwood ecosystem that once extended unbroken from Oregon to Central California.
Headwaters is critical habitat for many species, several of which are threatened or endangered.
The marbled murrelet, the coho salmon, the Northern Spotted Owl, the goshawk, the marten, the Olympic salamander, and a variety of other flora and fauna live in Headwaters. This will be the forest in which we will spend two nights, and this will be the story I will share with you.
