Speaking of Giant Redwoods



World's Tallest In Arboreal Protection

Coincidentally, here's an article from today's San Francisco Chronicle. I love that at least one of the last giants is safe from man. At least for now. What the hell were we thinking? Oh right, we weren't.

I was just staring up at the Sequoias a few days ago and thinking how amazing they are. I gather they are shorter than the coast redwoods but bigger around and heavier.
I'm so glad we are protecting the few old trees we have left. In a way I was amazed that any survived the rampant despoiling of the west when the lumber industry first got here.
