Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks will initiate emergency actions to protect giant sequoias from the threats posed by high-intensity wildfire by removing and reducing dense vegetation and other potential fire fuel sources in and around 11 giant sequoia groves that are especially at risk.
USDA Forest Service is initiating emergency fuels reduction treatments to provide for the long term survival of giant sequoia groves against immediate wildfire threats.
Summer wildfires, in the era of climate change, mean something different now for giant sequoias. These trees evolved with fire, and need it to reproduce, but the scale of recent megafires — burning in hotter, drier conditions across far greater areas — have overwhelmed many of the groves tucked high in the California mountains.
