Jackson Demonstration State Forest
- Jackson Demonstration State Forest
Jackson Demonstration State Forest is a demonstration forest on the coast of Northern California owned and managed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Logging of the area began in 1862, and intense industrial logging has taken place for many decades. There have been several generations of harvests and replantings. The 48,652 acres that make up the forest were purchased in 1947 and the demonstration forest was created in 1949. Coast redwood is the most common type of tree in the forest, but there is also Douglas fir, grand fir, hemlock, bishop pine, tanoak, alder, madrone and bay myrtle. The elevation of the land varies from 80 to 2,200 feet. Precipitation near the coast averages 39 inches per year, but the average is 70 inches per year inland. The temperature reaches a low of 25 F and a high of 100 F.
