Atlas Grove
Atlas Grove is the name of a grove of Coast redwood trees (''Sequoia sempervirens'') within Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, in Humboldt County, northern California. It contains the third largest known Coast redwood, Iluvatar.
==Description==
According to author Richard Preston, the Atlas Grove was discovered by naturalist Michael Taylor in 1991.〔Preston, Richard (2007). ''The Wild Trees: A Story Of Passion And Daring''. Allen Lane Publishers. page 82.〕 For old growth specimens importance, the Atlas Grove is similar to the Grove of Titans, another undisclosed grove of first growth Coast redwoods in the park. The exact location of both is undisclosed, to protect their ecology.
Among tree hunters and botanists, some groves and trees are given names unofficially. However, over 900 Coast redwood groves have been named by the Save-the-Redwoods League, as an "everlasting memorial to an individual, family or organization".〔Save the Redwood Memorial Groves List (2008). (''Save the Redwood Memorial Groves List''. ) List of Memorial Groves〕 It has not been disclosed whether the Atlas Grove is one of the dedicated memorial groves.
