REDWOOD and DINOSAURS!!

















In the past 150 years, 95 percent of all redwoods have been cleared. The 5 percent that remains are still being liquidated. Ancient trees that go back 2,2000 years old, sprouted well before the birth of Christ. The forest existed during the dinosaur era and contains more biomass acre for acre than the Amazon, yet it has been reduced to mere patches on a map. Redwoods rely on fog for up to 40 percent of their water, they never grow more than 50 miles from the coast. The tallest tree called "Hyperion" reaches 379.1 feet.

Please protect our trees!
