Frogwood Botanical Gallery

Hundreds of species of plants (including trees and moss) thrive in this thickly forested section of the Coast Range of Northern California's remote southern Mendocino County. Frogwood sits in a steep mountain canyon with a small creek running along the bottom. We are collecting pictures of native plants growing throughout the forest, wetland, and meadows of Frogwood.


Conference Room A: These Redwood trees are growing out of a huge old-growth Redwood double stump. Their roots and bark have grown down the side of the stump, partially covering its charred sides.


Madrone branch and leaves. The madrone tree has a unique red bark that peels and flakes as it grows and dries.
