Trees like this giant sequoia were seedlings as early as the time that Hatshepsut sat on the throne as the first female pharaoh of Egypt. That was 3,500 years ago. And today they are more threatened than ever.
Sometimes you just need a beautiful slideshow of giant, old trees to remind you how of the splendor of nature, and how it’s worth protecting.
