The ancient redwoods of California’s Big Basin State Park have witnessed centuries of change, and now they will stand sentinel over a landscape forced to rebound in a rapidly warming climate. Fire is a force for destruction, but also of rebirth. Get a provocative and intimate look at a world famous forest in the wake of the most destructive inferno on record.

Big Basin was my safe space that I would escape to. It kept me sane during the pandemic. I never thought I would experience such heartbreak over trees and yet here I am, mourning deeply. I’ve visited Big Basin 2 times since the fire and every time I cry. This video made me cry. I’m rooting for its recovery
I've spent 100s or maybe 1000s of hours in the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz mountains. Big Basin, Henry Cowel, The Forest of Neisene Marks. Fire does not kill redwoods. Those trees are not dead. They will sprout new branches and leaves.
It is sad that the Europeans did not have the ability or desire to listen and learn to the wisdom of the Indigenous people. I remember walking through the Redwoods - so majestic. Do you think some may have been around in the time of Moses?
Probably so and he got to see them in person most likely. He died in current day utah
Same thing happened when Australia burned ,,them lot banned cultural burning too and lost everything
Fires have raged in forests since forests have existed. The undergrowth needs managing, like in Australia, and other parts of the world !
Excellent video! I’d appreciate hearing more about what happened with the recent fires. We’re they extra-hot burns that killed a lot of trees?
Is there re-planting of the trees to ensure the future?
Thanks for your video!
❤❤
They had ought to work with private and public nurseries to raise up those redwood seedlings!
One needs to make sure the ecosystem is correct for the trees to live.
@@katherinecooper6159 they’re growing on the edge of Lake Michigan just north of manistee MI. They’re a riparian species. Usda plant hardiness zones 6-9
I love it #Ramamathmasti😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
amazing!
Cut Large fire lines use the lumber to build houses and motels for your homeless waste not want not
How come they don’t log and cut timber that leaves roads as fire breaks and fire fighters can use the roads.
The moment roads are cut into virgin land, the human incursion leaps. Best way to leave wild is to limit human activity in that area
They do this where I grew up in Australia. Fire is imperative for Australia's trees, but I believe a lot of fires are being started deliberately.
Either way it's just one of those things. I read that 99 percent of flora & fauna have gone extinct over eons & eons of time.
