"Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed, — chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones.... Through all the wonderful, eventful centuries since Christ’s time — and long before that — God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand straining, leveling tempests and floods; but he cannot save them from fools, — only Uncle Sam can do that." ~John Muir, “The American Forests,” August 1897
Giant Sequoias
Are taller than 21 elephants stacked on top of each other.
Weigh more than ten blue whales combined.
Would take up over three lanes of traffic on a freeway with its base!
