There is nothing that compares with walking in the redwoods, except, perhaps, the old-growth cedars on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington!

I'm so glad that the general opinion in the last 40 years about redwoods has changed from lawn chairs and jobs for loggers to preserving what incredibly tiny amount of forest is left. I moved into the area back in the early 80's, the loggers were the most obnoxious group of human beings I'd ever had to live with and they were in the process of being laid off en mass because the various logging companies they used to work for had been bought out by Maxxam who began shipping all the lumber overseas to Japan. The industry could no longer justify to anyone it's own benefits and, it had run out of logs, so amazingly, they stopped cutting trees after decades of demonstrations by Greenpeace and others. I remember when logs so big you could only put one on the back of a truck used to roll through Eureka, CA multiple times daily, and locals would fist-pump the driver as if to say "Yeah! destroy it all!" Glad we finally stopped...? at the last 2% (some say it's actually less).

As a logger here my self, I would advise you to re look at the industry today, it’s changed so much. Though I could never consider moving some where and then going after the locals for there livelihoods. It’s a super bizarre thing people from city’s do. Going after people that live off resources. Like my number one goal is for the forest to be there for my kids so they have a job a too and a great forest to live in.

The problem is people like you in that area don't understand what a forest is. They think a planting of douglas firs in a 'demonstration forest' or the narrow line of trees they leave up on either side of hwy 101, while just beyond that is clearcut to the horizon, is the same as an old growth redwood forest. I spent 28 years living among loggers I think I grew to understand them pretty well. Most of them thought the woods were 'all rotten' and animals were for shooting. No I don't have a lot of respect for ignorance.

2 or 3 percent of old growth is left, but the redwood belt is still here and the way they're managing much of the second growth, it'll revert to old growth in a few centuries.

I'm also not sure how you believe that logging is the way to leave forests behind for your children. Did you not see the original map with millions of trees, that have been logged (clear cut) down to 3 itsy bitsy teeny tiny specks on the current map? Seems like loggers were in it for the money in the moment, not for the long term, for their children as you say. Had the industry done more to be better stewards of the forests, the jobs might not have disappeared with the trees. It's one of a handful of industries who didn't seem to notice that they were clear cutting their own jobs out of existence, like they did to the Giant Redwoods. Fishing is another. And the only reason there are any Redwoods left, is BECAUSE of outsiders who weren't afraid of the community leaders that locals were. That outrage and protesting SAVED the few Redwoods they could. Not the loggers, or the companies they work for.

Are options fewer in some parts of rural America that depend on certain resource driven jobs? Yes. But again, there are other options. To think that there aren’t and that you have to be employed in that manner is self-defeating. Plain and simple.

The Weltwald in Bad Grund was established 50 years ago.

In the natural system the larger trees drop volunteers, but if the tree seeded too close to other trees it would grow slowly due to lack of light. Eventually succumbing to the fire cycle. Burning up along with the detritus. But volunteers that dropped in sunny locations would grow faster and the fires would skip those locations due to lack of fuels. So nowadays we really do have to go out there and cull these, because we always put the fires out. The forest ecosystem in N. California cannot function without this regular burn cycle. It's a shame so many of these unstable forests finally dried out, burned away completely during the extended drought. In 2018, Paradise burned to the ground. While tragic, people were forced to connect the dots. Now we have a mostly colloquial understanding about the importance of forest management.

The General Sherman tree is a Sequoia not a Redwood? I know that they are closely related but they are different species. Sadly, giant trees were also cut down indiscriminately in Australia.

Correct. Redwoods (or Coast Redwoods) are Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoias are Sequoia gigantea. Cousins. The gigantea live in the Sierra Nevada, the sempervirens on the coast. General Sherman is a gigantea (I proposed to my wife in front of it.) The only reason this matters to the video is that the video is not clear whether the trees that were bigger than General Sherman were sempervirens or gigantea. Though my guess is gigantea. And maybe they don't know. It would be diffcult to tell from a photo of a logged tree.

I was heartbroken when I went there and saw what a small area the redwood forest is.

Why are we paying to keep public television stations on ? When all we we get is one narrative I do not give money to any PBS station it needs to focus on both sides of all issues

Agree with your first question. The rest nah. The world is not a duality

I was mortified to see the map of where they used to grow and where they are now. I am so glad that there are people trying to protect these wondrous trees.

I've trucked all over in 49 States and the only place I didn't get to, (other than Hawaii) and the only thing I actually want to see is here.

Despite old growth US Sequoias and redwoods being in decline with less than 80,000 of them there, there are more or less 500,000 of them in the UK but much younger so these trees wont be lost in the near future but it will take a long long time for these young trees to grow. (I actually have potted Giant Sequoia/giant redwood, Coastal Redwood, and Dawn Redwood).
