Jackson Demonstration State Forest camp one adventure
Rod & Barbara's adventure at Jackson demonstration state forest, camp one.
Jackson is the largest of CAL FIRE's ten demonstration state forests. The area has a long history of logging which began in under private ownership 1862 then evolved into sustainable harvesting after the State's purchase of the property in 1947. Today, more forest growth occurs each year than is harvested. The most common tree on the forest is coast redwood, but visitors will also find Douglas-fir, grand fir, hemlock, bishop pine, tanoak, alder, madrone and bay myrtle.
