Beautiful Nature

The gigantic redwood trees are undeniably the forests’ skyscrapers. They are unbelievably wide and tall. Reaching heights of over a hundred meters, these towering trees can survive over 2000 years. Apart from their immensity, it is known that these huge trees play a role in stopping climate change.

Sadly, this giant tree was enlisted as one of the endangered species back in 2011. During the Castle Fire of 2020 and Windy Fire and KNP Complex in 2021, it was estimated that an additional 13-19% of its population was destroyed. Despite their large size and ability to adapt to fire, these trees have become severely threatened by a combination of gas load from fire suppression that accelerates the destructive fires.
