    As a former Big Basin Redwood State Park docent, I want to thank you for this excellent video! It was fun, interesting, informative and your enthusiasm is contagious. I am confident it will spark a deeper interest in our very special ecosystem, in the hearts of many who view it.

    What a fun description of a redwood falling. I have tried to picture and hear that in my imagination. I wouldn’t want to be too close, but it would be incredible to see and hear.
    But I don’t want too many to fall either.
