Forever Living

Sequoia sempervirens means "forever living." This is the scientific name for Coast Redwoods, the tallest living organisms on earth. They evolved 140 million years ago, and are resistant to fungal and insect infections, diseases, and fires. They are the only trees that are capable of regenerating, meaning, if a branch or another part of the tree falls to the ground, it can grow into a tree of its own. Or, if a redwood falls over, it's upward-pointing branches will grow into new trees.

The tallest know living redwood, Hyperion, located less than an hour away from Eureka, is 379.3 feet tall. Redwoods are home to countless insects, mammals, birds, amphibians, and other plants and trees. There are even "albino" redwoods which I plan on going to see soon. Unfortunately, redwoods were nearly wiped out due to their highly valued wood. Luckily, this was prevented!

The facts go on and on, and I can talk about these trees all day. But I really think everyone needs to experience them in their lifetime. I see them everyday and I'm still left in awe every single time. They are extremely resilient, which is one of the reasons I love them so much.

My professor and her husband, who is one of the world's top redwood researches, are two of the red dots in this picture. Which I think is so cool because I saw them on the National Geographic documentary years before coming to Humboldt, and I even have newspaper clippings of them and their research!

So, there you have it, some redwood knowledge. Pass it along, and go hug a tree! 🌲

My beautiful cousin married her sweetheart here in this meadow among the Redwoods this weekend, and I don't think I've ever been in a space filled with so much love, warmth, and natural beauty. It was a perfect ceremony for two people perfectly made for one another. I'm so happy for you guys and for what the future has in store for your little family. 🌲👰🏽💕👰🏾🌲 #thetripathiclarks #wedding #redwoods #mendocino #mendocinowoodlands #california #coastredwoods (at Mendocino Woodlands State Park)
