2. Jay said "2 ways kids can help are to get outside and start thinking about natural resource management and if you look at the redwoods, it’s a perfect place to start thinking about it because 95% was taken out and yet we see humanity shifting there to repairing the damage that was done." "And rebuilding the forest and making it more productive for humanity at the same time."
3. Some Redwoods can live forever. They never dry out.
4. Since there is not a lot of resin in their stringy, thick bark, so the larger trees are resistant to fire.
5.Redwoods are rich in polyphenols, so bugs and decay-causing fungi don’t like them.
