Grove of Old Trees
reserve of redwoods in California
The Grove of Old Trees is a 48-acre (19 ha) open space reserve forest of mostly second growth coast redwood trees on a broad, flat ridgetop west of Occidental, California.
Location
Stewarded and owned by LandPaths for more than 20 years, the Grove of Old Trees is a healthy, old-growth stand of Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) Accessible only via a narrow, one-lane rural road, the Grove is tucked away in a neighborhood on a road used by neighbors for walking and biking.
Through traffic and parking surveys and neighborhood feedback, it's been found that the Grove of Old Tree's tiny parking lot is highly impacted by visitors on major holidays, creating traffic and parking congestion.
To protect the beloved redwoods in the Grove and to minimize parking issues reservations are now required to park at the Grove during times of high use, including all major holidays.
Please note that there is just one small parking lot at the Grove of Old Trees. This is for the safety of you, your family, and the neighborhood.
There are no signs on the roads leading to the grove or on the trails within the grove. Cautious drivers on this single lane road will find a small turnout with a wooden archway on the right. There is only one small parking lot. LandPaths maintains a system of free, publicly accessible trails with some suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Grove of Old Trees” as reserve of redwoods in California. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as reserve of redwoods in California. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111914884. Authority coordinates are 38.399, -122.991. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
