- Tulare County decided to cut down this giant sequoia located in Alder Creek Grove after it was reported to still be on fire (from the 2020 SQF Complex / Castle Fire). The big tree was approximately 14 feet in diameter above its huge burls. It took 10 hours of constant work over 2 days for the hired crew to cut it down.
What can we do?
Our sequoias are dying because of climate change. Cutting and burning our forests further only brings more heat, aridity, and wind, and therefore, the risk of more severe fire. What we are doing is speeding up their demise. If we truly want to "save" our sequoias, we need to address climate change. There's no way around it.
