This is incredibly interesting! I observe slime molds fairly regularly wandering the moutains around santa cruz and have always wanted to know more more and even more about them. This video answers so many questions I had and many I didn't even know that I had!

4:35 Are you sure that tree is the "largest" coast redwood? Photos of that tree showing the upper trunk reveal a clear split indicating that it is likely a fusion and not a single stem. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I thought in order to qualify as a size champion, it can't be multistem.

Are you referring to the Allen’s and Rufous just as orange hummingbirds because of the decision to stop using people’s names? It struck me as odd that you were so good about naming the species of plants and the gnatcatcher but not the hummers. I live in SLV and only learned about the Sandhills when I happened to turn down a random road. I haven’t hiked there yet. Thank you for this. I gasped out loud when you revealed that it was a rubber boa. Jeaaaaalous of that sighting. The snake run was such snake-nerd perfection. Solidarity fist bump. Are there local tarantula species up here?

This Native American image on the right is truly remarkable. I don't know how the scholars interpreting it, but to me the cross symbols ( with and without circles ) look like the image of the sun, the solar image, and the interwoven lines look like a symbol of the DNA structure. This DNA structure symbol also appeared in the previous image of the Ohlone tribal basket ornamental patterns to honor the ancestors.

Dylan, great video thanks for sharing. You talk about being mindful about recreational habits and staying on designated trails. On the other side of Highway 9 (the UCSC side) there is a crazy network of mountain bike trails built by “volunteers”. There are no sanctioned trails in this area of Cowell. I wonder why managers do nothing about this? Also I went bike camping for two nights at Portola Redwoods State Park weekend before last. We did a hike out to the Peter’s Creek Loop. Beautiful place too! Saturday morning there was a researcher by the park HQ who was very upset about a fir tree that was cut down right next to the park HQ on Monday June 24th. This tree was supporting a colony of Pedicularis Dudleyi, or Dudleys Lousewort, a plant that's on the rare plants list too. A ranger named Andrew Dobbs happened to pull up. He was asked to provide a permit and CEQA approval to remove this tree by this gentleman and would not produce any of this information for him. None of the staff inside knew anything about this tree removal and were unable to provide this information either. A bunch of the Lousewort had been trampled and destroyed by the crew that did the tree removal. No protection was given to these rare plants and removing their supporting tree will most certainly kill them. This was very disturbing for me. I'm trying to figure out who to contact about this and would like any direction you can provide. This is also probably an example of improper land management, which you spoke of as well. It’s important to protect these plants!

We have climate change here in the Midwest also. In the summer, it’s hot, and then fall comes, and it cools off a bit and the leaves fall. Then we have winter when it’s kind of cold and it snows quite often and then we have spring when the snow melts and it warms up again. It’s been going on for a long time we like our climate change. We used to call it the change of seasons, which is what we still call it here. But I guess technically you could call it climate change.

I live in the Midwest, too. It used to snow a lot in the winter when I was a kid, now it barely ever does. If it gets cold, it might last a week and then just jumps up to 60 or 80, in the winter. I’ve seen the climate change in my lifetime. If you don’t think you have, you’re either not paying attention, or you’re pretty comfortable with denial.

@@Heavilymoderated We're probably heading back into a natural cooling cycle, so you may get your snows back. It's actually better if we do warm-up a bit. It takes less energy to cool a house from 90s to 72 than to warm it from 30s to 68. Aircraft wrecks have been recovered from Greenland under 70-100' of ice. The glaciers are alive and well. In fact, polar ice pack is at a 20 year high. Even the Left doesn't believe in human caused global climate change because they are not heeding their own recommendations.

@@Heavilymoderated Your thinking of the last few years where it true that we have not had as much snow the last few years. And there have been some warmer days. But if you look at it over the long-haul, several hundred years, you will see that it’s gone up and down in the normal fashion. In 1998 we had 30 straight days below zero. The next couple of years it was warmer. Even each season has its cold and warm changes from year to year. It’s very possible this winter we will get a lot of snow. It’s all subjective and we never know what we’re going to get. To tell you the truth, I kind of like warmer winters!

For these gullied trails, might The Park want to permanently shut these down? Could work, and the plants generating duff, to fill them in. What more might you want to tell us the Ponderosas and Knobcones that not only hold their own, but sometimes mingle freely, within the Redwoods? And, are there, or are there NOT Coulters and BIG CONE Douglas Firs, in The Park? Some insist that there are. Along the Klamath and Trinity greater watersheds, are places where Sugar Pines and Ponderosa Pines make uncharacteristic dips in elevation, to share territories with the Redwoods up there, and sporadic Grey Pines, too. Coulters mingle with Redwoods in Big Sur.

That was a lovely, interesting, and informative video. Thank you for sharing it. You called it a park expansion. Where is it / how do we get there? I wish you had included a map so we had a better idea of where you are talking about. The major downside that I see about this park, as well as for attempting to keep everyone on the trails, is how the narrowness of the trails you showed. Those narrow trails make it impossible for mobility impaired to use and stay.

Shouldn't there be a couple coast redwood groves growing in the sandhills? I didn't see any in the video, but with all that coastal fog and occasional thick needle substrate, it should at least be encroaching on the outskirts right? Seems to me like this area has way more in common with El Dorado national forest than it naturally did in the past.
