Outstanding and accurate coverage of modern redwood forests. I was a volunteer Camp host at several parks including Grizzly Creek and Jed Smith for 9 winters. The winter is the REAL thrill of seeing big trees sway 25 feet on top during a big storm. Another is waking to snowfall on the big redwoods. California State Parks are doing a good job with the best redwood parks. Visit in winter. Best time of year!
You didn't point out that the logging industry will not wait 130 years for the Redwoods to reach 6ft in diameter. They will come back in only a couple decades to harvest what's left over and over until everything of value is taken until forests are harvested when trees are measured in inches. Like Europe. Take your lessons from the areas on the planet where logging has been happening for thousands, not hundreds of years.
Sweet video, battling the same thing in the northwest here. you made some very valid points, to bad those trees wernt planted all over the place here. i could use a few nice tail holds right now LOL. fyi, im a cable logger... hook tender and things get a bit hairy when ya cant find any stumps to hang on too
