North Coast

The North Coast region spans over 19,000 square miles and is quite diverse, from coastal areas and redwood forests to inland mountain valleys and the semi-arid Modoc Plateau. Land use is similarly diverse including aquaculture, ranching, farming, timber harvesting, vineyards, marijuana cultivation, US Forest Service lands, and parklands. The climate varies from high precipitation along the coastal areas to desert conditions in the Modoc Plateau. Several tribes live in the region, including the Yurok Tribe, the state’s largest.
