Redwood Regional Park is located in the Hills of Oakland. It contains the largest remaining natural stand of coast redwood trees found in the East Bay. Redwood forests are usually found closer to the coast where the air is cool and humid year-around. Redwood trees are usually found in places like the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Marin Hills. The Oakland Hills have an unique circumstances that create the coastal conditions with winds funneled through the Golden gate flowing directly across the Bay and are channeled into the valley in which the Montclair District of Oakland lies. The area is also well-watered year round and is protected from extremes of temperature and high winds and has created an oasis in the East Bay: |
