I just visited Humboldt Redwoods State park a week ago.Being in a grove of colossal giants is like nothing else I have ever experienced. They are simply titan sentinels of Earth. Something more primeval than any other forest I have been in permeates the air there, moreso than the Amazon forests of Brazil. Any ENTS with the means should go see these forests of truly ancient trees.
I read a sign in the park that said Rockefeller Forest(the contiguous old-growth portion of the park) contains seven times the biomass per acre, living and dead, of any other biome on earth. -Jon On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 7:32 PM, Barry Caselli <[email protected]>wrote: > I haven't seen a new National Geographic in many years.
