Sequoialand

Sequoialand exists everywhere that members of the redwood family grow.

Wherever they grow in time and space, that is. Sequoia species coexisted with dinosaurs and giant insects, and are found as fossils or as petrified forests as well as in living form.

Thanks to the internet, you can visit most of it without even needing a passport, including the trees that are no longer with us.

Sequoialand has had some tough times lately, with all the fires in California, so we can make sure it continues to expand by planting more trees, especially in places where there is a lot of growing room.

But its not just trees we need to grow. Sequoialand always needs more stewards to keep an eye on its future.

Pass along

Judging by the number of annual visitors to Sequoia National Park, Kings Grove etc etc seeing the trees is a must-do road trip for many people already. Recent wildfires have highlighted the perils. Converting anxiety to action is something we all can do in a small way.
