Originally posted by Bob Harris thanks for the information Rob, that is really sad about the loss of the redwoods/sequoia trees.
Especially because they were around 80 years old. It would be nice to have a place where I could see sequoias without having to go to California! I don't think the forestry people plant arboreta anymore. I just checked and there's some planted in the National Arboretum in 2008. I just have to live another 40 years or so for them to be enjoyable...
There's some old Redwoods near Canberra airport, but the grove has suffered in the recent droughts and I think they need to do more to protect the trees - perhaps plant some other species around the outside of the grove to protect the redwoods a bit better.

Thanks Heinrich! I've been feeling a bit down, so it was a good excuse for haiku.
