Reference excerpt

Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park is a state park of California, United States, harboring groves of coast redwoods in three separate units along the Van Duzen River. It is located 20 miles (32 km) south of Eureka, California, then another 17 miles (27 km) east of Fortuna on State Route 36. The small park was created by a donation from Owen R. Cheatham, founder of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, who wanted to preserve the stand of redwoods in perpetuity. Originally established in 1943, the park has grown to 430 acres (170 ha). Cheatham Grove, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of the main unit, was added to the park in 1983 due to efforts of the Save the Redwoods League.

Use The park is so secluded due to its location off the major regional artery, U.S. Route 101, that on weekdays a visitor may be the only person in any one of the several groves. Cheatham Grove has a small trail about a mile long and was one of the filming sites for Return of the Jedi as the forest moon of Endor. There is also an albino redwood along the trail and the park is the location of a Redwood Edventure Quest.

Climate According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park has a warm-summer mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.

Proposed for closure

Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park was one of 70 California state parks proposed for closure by July 2012 as part of a deficit reduction program. It was previously one of several state parks threatened with closure in 2008. However, these closures were ultimately avoided by reducing visitor services, operational hours, and maintenance system-wide.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park

In research: Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1943 establishments in California, Campgrounds in California, Coast redwood groves, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
