Rays of sunlight penetrate a primeval grove of towering redwoods in Prairie
NORTH STATE REDWOOD BEAUTY
A picture story by Tom Myers

towering redwoods, which provide a stark contrast with nearby land left barren by
loggers. ~_
State and federal officials have proposed expanding the park, but opposition is
erising from some local businessmen and county officials.
They argue that placing additional land in parks will reduce the area’s tax base.
Also, they fear logging companies’ inability to use the land
parks may have a detrimental impact on the local economy.

1967-68 state budget for the development of the existing park, which is 50 miles north
