Headwaters Forest Reserve Junior Explorer Activity Book

The activities in this book will help you explore the history and natural wonders of the Headwaters Forest Reserve near Arcata, California . Headwaters was set aside by Congress and the President in 1999 to protect old-growth redwoods that provide habitat for threatened and endangered species such as the northern spotted owl, marbled murrelet and coho salmon. You would be lucky to see these species, but are more likely to see a winter wren, hear the high pitched sound of a varied thrush or watch a garter snake basking in the sunlight.
