The Donald M. Healey Memorial Grove is located in Big Basin Redwoods State
Park, California. The park is accessed by Highway 9 which runs from Highway
17, through Saratoga, then to Highway 1 in Santa Cruz. Highway 236 is a
loop that leaves Highway 9 and passes through the park rejoining near
Boulder Creek.
It has been quite a while since I have been there but as I recall, the Grove
is located in the Sempervirons Camp Ground which is south of the park
headquarters. Because it is in a campground, Sempervirons and the park
officials do not want large groups of people descending on the area all at
one time, especially over the 4th of July holiday as the campground is
usually full.
Upon entering the campground at the northern entrance (it may be a one -way
road and you must go that way), the Grove will be on your right. The sign
is set back from the road so you will need to look for it. If the area has
not become overgrown, it will be visible from the road.
For pictures taken at the time that the sign was replaced, go to
www.justbrits.com and look for "The Story of the Restoration of The Donald
M. Healey Sign".
