Everyone one should watch this video!

 

50 years.... Very humbling stuff.

 

I'm only 29 and have my first child on its way. I want my grandchildren to be around and love life and nature!

 

I have always loved Giant Sequoias and have always said to myself that one day i will plant some, but have never got round to it. After hearing what David Milarch said towards the end of the lecture, i am going to plant as many as possible on my land.... Starting this year!

I planted some seeds a couple of weeks ago and 3 have sprouted just yesterday. I'm 39 now, but like the idea someday people might remember who planted them when they are huge..

I'm planting them too. I hope to have quite a selection around my house , which hasn't been built yet. I'm working on my garden so far..

My dad owns 14 acres of mixed native broadleaf woodland - full of Ash, Cherry, oak, sycamore, yew, holly, field maple, etc. - so thats my 'natives' sorted!!

 

Why not plant sequoias?? They are my favourite tree for so many reasons... And as the video said; they are amongst the higest co2 absorbing tree you could plant.
