Abstract

The most impressive grove of giant sequoias is that known as Giant Forest in Sequoia National Park. It has been an area of contention by various land users for more than 130 years. After initial exploration of the region, a utopian colony filed on the land in order to log the big trees. They were stopped by the creation of Sequoia National Park. Thereafter for some forty years, uncontrolled efforts to encourage park visitors led to ecological disruption. The past half century had seen a wide variety of efforts and schemes aimed at removing visitor facilities, rerouting roads, decreasing traffic, and reforesting the grove. Most efforts have been unsuccessful.
