Planted over 40 Redwoods in Oroville California in the Sierra Nevada foothills at 950 ft elevation. They were around 4 ft tall 25 years ago and are now 100 ft tall. they need a little tlc to get started but once they are established they grow rapidly. I lived in Crescent City CA for 15 years and the redwoods are my favorite part of that area. Glad to see other people who care about the trees.

[@mirodudas8428]

I’ve been to Rotorua in 2005. Glad to hear that New Zealand is providing a refuge for these giants. I have found that the giant Sequoia (a cousing of the coastal redwood) is being able to grow and propagate in the Southern California mountains where I will plant some more around my property. Not sure if coastal redwood would fair well here, being it much higher elevation of about 5500 feet.

[@redwoodcoastcalif]

As a previous redwood state park camp host for 13 years, nothing beats living in the redwoods 24/7 during a big storm. They creak and groan and the tops sway 30 feet! Burned out hollow giants are natural when duff builds around trunks for centuries, then is ignited by natural fires. The fibrous bark is relatively fire resistant until enough heat burns through the bark into the cambium and heartwood which burns up the interior until lack of oxygen snuffs it out. Early travelers and pioneers used large hollow redwoods and brush as "Sheep pens" to avoid griz and lion from taking livestock. Many redwoods are blown apart by direct lightening strikes which super-heats interior water into steam. With no tap root, wind can blow over one big redwood and it will take down several others like dominoes. There are millions of redwoods within state parks and the project of growing the best genetics is good. Those should be widely disbursed among all other protected redwoods to naturally spread the best genetics via eventual seeds. Re-planting clear cut areas only will result in slow and unnatural long term forests since clear cutting killed off the little known "internet" fibers between trees which may take many hundreds of years to restore. Privately owned redwoods are NOT "protected" and smaller trees left uncut will provide marketable logging again......in 700 years! Why worry? :-) Summer fog (cold ocean-hot interior) is the key element as big redwoods can take in up to 500 gallons of water a day. Redwoods "predict" upcoming winter rain and floods by dropping large numbers of cones, or very few for dry winters. Redwoods have 16 million years of experience. They know what they are doing! :-)

wolf in the wild Dude he's trolling you. Ignore these idiots. They're the one's who'll die first because of suffocation and rising temperatures as they live their whole lives in air conditioned rooms which won't last long as the coal runs out to power their homes.

[@kathyspeed1575]

Thank you so much for doing this. You're a beautiful person. I get so sad when I see people cutting down trees and making them into sawdust. I'm in Colorado but grew up in California long ago. I wish we had redwoods here. Thanks again. You're a blessing to this earth.

[@datboidego]

Some people just can’t comprehend how important these things called “trees” are to our existence

[@markdemell8056]

I get rid of my stupid smart phone years ago and got back to nature!

[@gracechan3039]

Sadhguru calls them the other half of our lungs.

[@theunholyone2505]

That's why I don't show compassion to other people these days. I learned to smile when I hear news about a landslide on a village or flood. Some people really deserved it after polluting the environment.

Q: Want more rainfall? A: Plant more trees.

[@unnamed-nova193]

My mother lives in a slightly forested area, and new houses were being built there. Weve kept many of the trees in our back yard, but one day the biggest of them fell into the house. Ot makes me sad to think that the trees falling was oir fault, as that species of tree onlg had support for its shallow roots from other trees. But the worst part is then our neighber cut down THEIR ENTIRE LOT OF TREES, even ones that wouldnt even pose a threat to their house. Ive been geowing saplings and plants since, and I hope to plant them someday..

My heart drops when i hear a chain saw when i was young i would be yelling tree murderer's but old age curtailed that but i have seventeen mature trees in my garden all planted by me so i feel i am doing my best

Old is Gold. Preserving such trees is a great Love to humanity.

[@Talis1717]

Every time I day dream or meditate a Redwood forest is always a part of it. Now that truely explains their magical influence on me and I’m sure anyone who has seen a redwood forest in person or in pictures has a sort of magical connection to them in their own way. I can’t imagine loosing such an amazing part of nature because of human actions. On an emotional and logical level they are very important.

[@NullaNulla]

Very disturbing and upsetting to hear them facts .. that only 4% are left. Greed as usual has about killed off our planet.

[@nini-xp4vo]

The planet is fine

[@purebluejapan-]

REM chan no it isn’t. And let’s say it was okay. The fact that these beautiful trees and plants are going extinct should at least concern you a little. We are never going to be able to go in nature and enjoy these when they go extinct.

[@Ozzyisunavailable]

@@purebluejapan- it is fine, satellite imagery, actually show an increase in green around the world. Humanity-wise it's inconvenient but it's by no means world ending, a large percentage of the world already live in climate controlled buildings, and generally, to prevent the sea from reclaiming land; it's just a question of cost than anything else. Also, redwoods used to be in Western Europe too, they got out because of the last ice age

[@FruitingPlanet]

@@Ozzyisunavailable The most valuable thing in our entire universe is life to our knowledge, in particular the diversity of live and as far as we know, earth is the only planet with life, even if its not, life is most certainly very scarce in the milky way. The biggest threat to biodiversity today are we, it started with the Quaternary extinction event, during which our ancestors caused the most extinctions of large animal outside of africa and has rose to an extreme today, through large scale environmental exploitation, poisoning/contamination and extreme habitat loss, which is know even on its way to surpass the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. BTW: despite improving technology, we will be the biggest losers of the anthropogenic climate change, the cost we face because of it today are already in the trillions of dollars per year worldwide, while countries like the netherlands can pump up to hundreds of billions each year in protecting their land from getting flooded, or a single city like New York can pay 10 billion for a flooding protection project, most places on this planet can not. Bangladesh for example is already partly uninhabitable because of the sea level rise and natural disasters(which increase greatly with a more extreme climate), millions of people are climate refugees today and as most of humanity lives close to the costs and most of humanity can not pay billions to protect their city, billions of people will become climate refugees in the next decades. Even if you live your hyper privileged life, away from the cost, with enough money to pay for very expansive food and outside of a natural disaster zone, you will still be affected because most of humanity will not be so fortunate and when all these people are suffering and starving, while you sit in your safety buble with a full belly, you will not live in peace, that i can guarantee you.

[@purebluejapan-]

Oscar Healy an increase in algae and farms is not a good increase in green.

[@limoomar9149]

Planting trees.. Like giving hope... What we ought to thrive on is more people like you...

[@Fickle-Pixel]

"Let's plant some more".

[@benth162]

Wow, your description of walking through an old growth redwood forest is a perfect telling of the experience. I've been there and done that. It is very much spiritual. It's as if we were communing with the elders. The narrator speaks with a reverence that few understand or can comprehend. Those old trees have a consciousness that is so different from ours that humans can barely comprehend their nature. You did bring a tear to my eye when having to own our participation of the destruction of that large a percentage of a Genus. Our human egocentrism will be the death of mankind when the rest of the participants in this eco system become tired of being exploited by us !!!

[@terrywright9765]

I saw the redwoods as a 12 year old back in the mid 1970s. Even at that young age there was a unique feeling of awe just to stand among them. I never forgot it and I never will. Kudos to this gentleman and all who help him.

[@vishwanathkadalagi2336]

I get goose bumps when he ends by saying " let's plant some more" under his breath.

[@annemaried1660]

Thank you for saving and replanting the spectacular and beautiful Redwoods, sir!!! May God bless you always! I wish that I could be there to help you plant them! I am definitely a tree lover and so hoping that people will stop cutting them down... Thank you so very much! ❤️🌲❤️🌲❤️

[@skehleben7699]

There are a few profound first moments and seeing redwoods for the first time is absolutely awe inspiring.

[@SpringoStar]

He is my Hero! I from mold sickness, almost died from renal failure, and I too, swore to save my mother earth if I survived... Long last our trees..

[@68SpawnofSatan]

it is amazing to see that someone has thought to preserve these trees as they are amazing in every way :)

[@HearturMind]

Absolutely yes. If you have not walked in a redwood forest you must do so before you can’t anymore. It is an experience you will never forget.

[@TakeAdip]

Yeeeess... Its like hearing vin diesel talking next to you about saving trees

+Mr. Treez OH YES

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Mr. Treez: Morgan Freeman is a fine actor who is paid to do environmental & scientific programs. But the man we see in this presentation is an arborost. He is an educated, dedicated tree man. NOT the same!

thanks for reminding me that we can be a force for good on this planet. you sir are a legend!

[@EsmaTabak55]

I really need this positivity right now as we have major wildfires in California and the north states. I really hope this cloning of redwoods continues. These trees give me life and happiness.

[@dantenelson1624]

Thank you so much for the good you are doing in this world. I feel very connected to you and the way you look at the redwood forest it feels my soul with joy to see you doing this.

[@khaelsayfair1163]

Redwood my favorite tree even though i haven't seen one. I'll go to the redwood forest someday.

[@zachmartian7290]

Not a treehigher myself but I admire this guy and wish I had the time to visit a redwood forest.

[@jeffwright9431]

When I'm alone in the Redwoods, with the mist low to the ground, I can imagine a pre-historic animal running down the trail towards me. It is a magical place that must be experienced at least once in your lifetime.

[@sunsetpotato7672]

I love these trees and that wonderful man

[@nrmswen4528]

I live under the Redwoods near the coast in Sonoma county Calif.. We have gone through two Fire evacuations, last one was mandatory. All the Redwoods from Hwy.101 to Bodega Bay where in danger of burning. Each Redwood has a habitat of many living things such as Humming bird's nest, Raccoons with their Kits, Chipmunks, Grey Squirrels, Owls, Blue Jays, Ravens, Brown mice, and more make their homes in/on these great Giants. Also Redwoods are host to many plant species that live on the Trunks and branches. The Redwoods provide food of Insects to several bird species. Even the Bobcat use the Redwoods as a scratching post. The Mountain Lion will store it's prey up in a Redwood branch, and even relax up high. Redwoods are great back scratchers for the Black Bears that come around here for the Sockeye Salmon. The Redwoods even help the fish with plenty of shade over the creeks and rivers. Tree frogs live in ferns & moss that live on the gentle Giants. Burl within the roots live the very large Salamander. I could go on...one can see that a Redwood is a environment for many living things. Shame if we lost these "Great Giants" and all of it's habitats.

“Plant the tree that you will not be alive to see, because that’s the right thing to do”

[@COLINJELY]

In Australia we have been practising Professional Forestry for more than 100 years. Every tree that is harvested gets replanted!

[@krawbob8790]

yeah maybe in Pine plantations but i haven't seen any red mahogany plantations or any native species for that matter. I live on a property that was logged for all its ancient hardwoods and all they planted was few tea tree and put cattle on it?

[@Redwoodtree34567]

I am always a tree-hugger. I would love to that someday in Redwood national park. World is extraordinary.
