Nature's Timeless Giants: Redwoods: Redwoods

» earlytimes - Redwoods

Hi Renie. I know how majestic the Redwoods are because I live at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and I have seen the Giant Redwoods in California. I drive to Lake Tahoe about four times a year and I am always taken by the deep blue of that alpine lake and by the knowledge that almost all the trees around the lake were cut down in the later part of the nineteenth century to make timbers for the silver mines in Virginia City, Nevada, but they all grew back. Nature can often undo the damage we do.
