"What I want people to know is that these recent fires have not been a disaster in the Sequoia groves. They have not. They're not the doom of Sequoias. They're the salvation of the giant sequoias." – Dr. Chad Hanson, John Muir Project cbsnews.com/sacramento/new…

“...They’ll log this old-growth forest—this wet, green rainforest—to create fire resilience...but these trees are already fire-resilient...[T]he Forest Service says that by clear-cutting a...nearly 1,000-year-old forest, they’ll teach it to be resilient?” scientificamerican.com/article/can-fo…

Happy Earth Day! It is just as important to protect our local city and suburban trees as it is to protect wilderness. Old city trees need love too! nytimes.com/2024/04/22/opi…

“The largest logging projects I’ve ever seen are targeting the last, best remaining old growth trees left in the country,” said Chad Hanson, a forest ecologist and co-founder of the John Muir Project. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

NPS has lit Eden Creek sequoia grove on fire. They threw fire from airplanes into the sequoia canopies. The Coffeepot fire was going out but they want to keep it burning. They surely intend to burn the entire wilderness and all sequoias on purpose. It’s all about money.

This is what Forest Service and Save the Redwoods are passing off as "restoration." Keep this in mind whenever you vote for a measure that sets aside state or federal tax dollars for "forest restoration" or when you donate to a "restoration" project. ilovetrees.net/packsaddle-seq…

We went to check on South Peyrone sequoia grove and wow were there a lot of seedlings! S. Peyrone is very difficult to get to, but watching our walkthrough video is easy: youtu.be/zLxYQJU2IDY

Sequoia coalition (USFS, NPS, Save the Redwoods, CalFire, etc.) has been going on about how millions of seedlings are not enough, that they have to plant in many groves. So then why are loggers bulldozing seedlings and putting burn piles on top of them? ilovetrees.net/sequoia-seedli…

Video of what was formerly a patch of sequoia seedlings, now bulldozed over in Black Mountain grove. The bare twigs sticking out of the ground used to be seedlings: youtu.be/mz_GEt8vRhM

We documented more reckless abuse of sequoia seedlings, this time in Packsaddle Grove, which has also been thoroughly logged: youtu.be/oDjtACD8Cl8

TAKE ACTION! The U.S. Forest Service has moved forward with a massive burning project for the Sequoia and Sierra National Forests in California that covers 2.4 million acres—including ALL 866,741 ACRES OF DESIGNATED WILDERNESS ON BOTH NATIONAL FORESTS! wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/sierra-sequoia…

HOLY COW! Cows are pulverizing millions of seedlings in the Giant Sequoia National Monument: youtu.be/HyvSUBZwUuc?si… #sequoia #giantsequoianationalmonument

Packsaddle Sequoia Grove has been thoroughly logged (previously one of few unlogged groves) and seedlings have been bulldozed: youtu.be/oDjtACD8Cl8?si…

The ground is almost bare right now in the sequoia groves. Need a sequoia snow fix? Enjoy this snowshoeing video from Alder Creek Grove in 2022: youtu.be/sXxh_yQPM-I?si…

Hey everyone, I'm looking for part-time, flexible, remote work. I have experience in customer service, event planning, & a wide range of admin tasks (planning meetings & travel, processing reimbursements, data entry, communicating w/donors). I type 65wpm, work hard, learn fast.

I was today years old when I found out I had a speculative journalism piece published in High Country News way back in 2019! Link to the special issue is here, I'm on page 23! hcn.org/wp-content/upl…

The deceptively named “Fix Our Forests Act” threatens Wilderness with more livestock grazing and manager-ignited fires. That's a bunch of BS, so tell your senators to vote NO! >>> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/fix-our-forest…
