But Ronald Reagan, as California governor, did a lot to save the redwoods and other natural wonders -- and he had the good sense to fire the land-gouging zealot James Watt as interior secretary.
According to the Save the Redwoods League - created in 1918 to preserve the ancient forests of coastal redwoods, which led to the creation of the Redwood National and State Parks in the 1920s - it's believed the last ice age that ended about 10,000 years ago limited the trees to their present range along the Pacific Coast from central California to Southern Oregon.
Forming the Save the Redwoods Fund, he spent 10 years campaigning, fundraising, and getting government backing, resulting in the creation of a 17,000-acre reserve.
