As fires threaten the Ancient Ones, sequoia lovers wonder what else will no longer endure

In Oklahoma, Sequoyah Quinton, a storm chaser and member of the Cherokee Nation, went outside, dropped to his knees and prayed for something to stop the destruction of the sequoia trees.

In San Diego, Katie Ohlin, an early witness to spiraling sequoia mortality, watched this week as people worldwide poured out their alarm and their connection to the trees after seeing photographs of fire workers wrapping the famed Giant Forest, including the largest living tree on Earth, in silver retardant foil.The outpouring left Ohlin feeling less alone but saddened for the pain. “I don’t wish this for any of us,” she said.

In 2018, Ohlin and Linnea Hardlund were partners on a fire ecology crew. Their job was to collect data about a grove that had burned the year before in Black Mountain, which lies partly in the Giant Sequoia National Monument and partly on the Tule River Reservation.

California should have been diverting water used for lawns& golf courses to save these Ancient Ones. What a tragic reality.

Until the Elites and their agencies pushing the “climate change agenda”.

Los Angeles Times coins the word ‘millenniums’. It’s ‘millennia’, chaps.

Nothing should be immortal, you have to clear out the old to make way for the young.

I hope these trees survive. If I ever get to leave Australia I’d love to see these in their full majestic home

Trees need protection everywhere, including private land and gardens. I really hope these can be saved, it would be such a sad loss.

This is so sad…

Maybe just maybe we will think twice about cutting down trees

Fire lol, sequoias don't give a shit about forest fires, in fact they need forest fires in order to clear other trees and allow their cones to open. They have evolved to not give two shits

Very sad.. I hope they survive these fires. But I consider myself lucky to have lived at the same time they lived and to have stood amongst them. 🌲🌲🌲

😢

It's not 'millennia'?

All those cars and the greenhouse gases
