That was so awesome!!! Thank you for taking me back home! I miss those trees SO MUCH! It was like going back to science camp, when a guide would show us around the woods.
It’s heartbreaking to hear that only 4% of old growth redwoods remain. Why does the state government continue to allow ANY logging of these precious trees??? Between the logging and the fires, it is truly devastating. People don’t realize how much serenity and peace these forests bring to all who visit them. Here in Barcelona, I’m pretty far from any forests, and the one proper park the city has, Colserolla, is constantly under threat of closure by rangers that don’t want anyone to enjoy it. And this park is accessible by public transit!
I look forward to seeing more of your videos, they take me back to home, Corte de Madera open space preserve on the SF Peninsula.

I loved it! I am a landscape painter and am weak for trees and ferns, so this was right up my alley! Thank you so much!

I’m a grandmother and I just have to say I think you’re adorable! I certainly admire your knowledge, but your enthusiasm just brightened my day. If you were an interpretive ranger, I would follow you anywhere. I hope we see you in future videos!

Thank you so much. You made me miss the redwoods and strolls through them when I was a kid. Be sure, these will stay with you forever.
Great job!

Thank you, Jayrlin! I have been down to the redwoods dozens of time but never had a guide. I learned a few things and will be looking out for redwood sorrel with the red underside so I can taste them!

So awesome! You Rock! I just got home from a walk up my road. I was hugging trees and enjoying the peace. I was also saddened by the mess that was made by timber company”s destruction. So sad! What can I do? I don’t have money to donate but I have time. Thank you for all your hard work and love.
