After many decades of [[logging]], efforts were started in [[conservation]]. In the 1920s the Save the Redwoods League worked to save old-growth redwoods. Due to their efforts, a number of State Parks were formed. Then in 1968, Redwood National Park was created. By that time nearly 90% of the original redwood trees had been logged. The [[National Park Service]] (NPS) and the [[California Department of Parks and Recreation]] (CDPR) combined the management of Redwood National Park with the three Redwood State Parks in 1994.<ref>{{cite web|title=Working Together|url=http://www.nps.gov/redw/planyourvisit/park-overview.htm|work=Redwood National and State Parks|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=2 April 2012}}</ref>
