Preparing for a hotter future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This is Phase-2 of a massive reforestation project at the Alder Creek Giant Sequoia Grove – a spectacular 530-acre property that contains hundreds of ancient giant sequoias, including the Stagg Tree, the fifth-largest tree known in the world, as measured by volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save The Redwoods League supports the goals of the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition by clearing unnaturally overgrown brush and trees, reducing the potential for a fire. They continue to plant tens of thousands of sequoia seedlings to replace the trees lost in recent years. They also experiment with assisted gene flow to pass along traits to make the next generation of trees more robust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Protecting trees; protecting the planet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Massive in size, Giant Sequoias have a lengthy history of coexisting with wildfires. They rely on wildfires for seed dispersal and seedling establishment. However, the increased ferocity of the wildfires due to climate change \u2013 coupled with drought and the build-up of vegetation after years of fire suppression \u2013 has resulted in unprecedented tree loss. The species was once thought to be immune to flames because of its thick bark and towering canopy. But recent years have shown that this is sadly not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AnswerConnect CEO Natalie Ruiz said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We chose to support this project as we are committed to ensuring the survival of our planet and endangered tree species. There’s no substitute for these extraordinary trees and we are proud to stand alongside Save The Redwoods League and the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition to do the work to restore the natural forest condition. We have to help nature as without it, we won\u2019t be here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe incredible work of Save the Redwoods League will help protect this Ancient Giant Sequoia Forest in the Southern Sierra. The incredible work won’t mature for another 2,500 years. But it’s the start of an impactful change to support the Earth thousands of years from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
