Notes: Newton B. Drury, also known as Drury Tree and Drury Giant, is the 14th largest coast redwood, the 5th largest tree in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, and the 2nd largest tree in Mary Glide Goethe Grove. Naturalist Michael W. Taylor named the to honor Newton B. Drury, former director of the National Park Service and Save the Redwoods League. Though named to honor Drury and located near a sign for Newton Bishop Drury and Aubrey Drury Memorial Grove on Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, the tree actually stands in Mary Glide Goethe Grove.

The trunk of Newton B. Drury is extremely large: 18 ft (5.5 m) wide 20 ft (6 m) above ground and still 16 ft (4.9 m) wide 100 ft (30 m) above ground. Numerous bark indentions seen on the uphill/north side of the tree represent scars from old logging undercuts.

From U.S. Highway 101 just north of Orick, take exit 753 Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway. Drive north 3.8 mi (6.1 km) on Newton B.
