Muir Woods National Monument is world renowned for its old-growth coastal redwoods, attracting over one million visitors in 2017. With the park’s popularity come pressures on a fragile ecosystem representing more than 380 different plants and animals.

The National Park Service has initiated a family of projects to ensure the preservation and health of Muir Woods for generations to come. These projects put in place the critical infrastructure needed to enhance visitor experience, protect and restore park resources, and enhance safety.

Every effort has been made to schedule work to reduce impacts to visitors and residents, but near-term impacts are inevitable. We thank you for your patience as we carry out these important projects.

Special thanks to the California Coastal Conservancy (Prop 1 funding) for their special grant, and to California State Parks, North Bay Conservation Corps, California Conservation Corps, and OneTam for their partnership in this coordinated effort to ensure preservation and health of Muir Woods for generations to come.
