Redwood National and State Parks - Redwood Ranger Minute: Fog in the Redwoods

The video discusses the role of fog in the Redwood National and State Parks. It explains how fog forms when warm air from the Pacific Ocean meets cold waters off Northern California, and how it provides water to redwoods and understory plants during dry summers. Fog helps keep redwoods cool and supplies significant water through condensation and root systems. However, fog levels have decreased over the past century, potentially affecting the forest's future. Despite this, fog remains crucial for the redwoods' survival, and visitors can still experience it today.
