“That is such good news, I can’t tell you how much that gives me peace of mind.”

The fire-ravaged park headquarters building is seen after the CZU August Lightning Complex Fire passed through Monday, Aug. 24, 2020, in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Calif.

But an Associated Press reporter and photographer hiked the renowned Redwood Trail at Big Basin Redwoods State Park on Monday and confirmed most of the ancient redwoods had withstood the blaze. Among the survivors is one dubbed Mother of the Forest. The historic park headquarters is gone, as are many small buildings and campground infrastructure that went up in flames as fire swept through the park about 45 miles south of San Francisco.

Trees that fall feed the forest floor, and become nurse trees from which new redwoods grow. Forest critters, from banana slugs to insects, thrive under logs.

Just today. But he is the one that needs forgiveness not I. He will never get it treating me the way he has been treating me more will the rest of them. I accept no one at this time.

Not reopen the Nights of the Physics or the Physics up for any dam reason. They treated me like shit. Until they treat me like they should have and I receive all that's mine then it will for ever remain closed. I have had concrete poured into my body I can't even count how many

To bad!!!

Redwoods are evolved to survive forest fires. The frigging sequoia species REQUIRES fire to come to seed

They have a history of smoldering for years.

I like trees. Peace of mind is probably a push. Jesus does that...or, Prozac the mighty Buddha, hey...I get it...trees be like chill too.

Redwoods are built to survive incredible temperatures. That's why they're so huge and have flammable outer bark.
