College of the Redwoods (CR) is a public two-year community college whose main campus is located near Eureka in Humboldt County, northern California. Current enrollment is about 6,000 students, and the college offers a variety of transfer, vocational, and community-based classes, including its world-famous Fine Woodworking Program started by master woodworker James Krenov. The college is named after the Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) trees native to the region.

CR has two satellite campuses: CR Del Norte in Crescent City, Del Norte County; and CR Mendocino Coast in Fort Bragg, Mendocino County. CR also has other off-campus sites, including the Arcata Instructional Site, the Eureka Downtown Instructional Site, the Bianchi Farm and the Klamath-Trinity Instructional Site on the Hoopa Valley Tribe reservation.

The original Redwoods Community College District was formed in 1964 by a vote of the people of Humboldt County. In 1975, residents of the coastal portion of Mendocino County voted to join the District, and in 1978 Del Norte County similarly joined. The college serves these areas, as well as a portion of Trinity County.

  • Like high school... but taller.
  • Nowadays, it is a high school. I swear that one recent semester the work study cashier who checked out my purchases at the book store was at least 11 years old!
