Calaveras Big Tree National Forest

Calaveras Big Tree National Forest

Calaveras Big Tree National Forest was established in California on May 11, 1954 with 390 acres to protect a grove of Giant Sequoias, although it had been authorized since February 18, 1909.

In 1990 it was proposed that the federal lands be transferred to the State of California to be included in the adjoining Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
