Redwood Learning Anywhere

Redwood National and State Parks is located along the beautiful but isolated north coast of California. We realize that this rugged landscape may be difficult for many teachers and students to access. Bring the parks home to your students instead, using our series of educational videos and associated classroom materials to instill stewardship from afar.

You can also find and use hundreds of other lesson plans for any national park.
