In some instances it is, such as Sequoia National Forest, because it is the name of a place. In the case of the type of tree, like someone else mentioned, it is not capitalized, of course, depending on the usage in written form. For instance, valley oak, bluegum eucalyptus, sequoia redwood.

Common names of trees, like elm, maple, apple, oak, are not capitalized because they indicate a type or category of something. A proper noun is the name of a unique entity, like "Robert," or "Saturn," or "England."

because it is a kind of tree. You don't capitalize birch or elm or hickory do you?
