CTL 9F - Coast Redwoods Thrive and Multiply at Seabeck, WA 2019

Crucial documentation of a mid 1980s planting of Coast Redwoods into a Douglas-fir regrowth forest west of Seattle. Site visit by Connie Barlow October 2019 shows thrival of the in-forest plantings plus multiple age groups of evident offspring: seedlings and saplings dispersing beyond the original plantings. This video is part 6 of a 9-part video series advocating "assisted migration" northward of California's Coast Redwood and Giant Sequoia trees. CORRECTION: In the video Connie incorrectly reports that the redwoods were planted in the 1970s. The current director of Seabeck Conference Center, Charles Kraining, contributed this correction in a 7 November 2019 email to Connie: "I think the redwoods were planted in the mid 1980s. The Director that planted them started here in 1984. He did it early in his tenure here. I would guess that like most of our trees, the deer made quick work of many. I think the video is a great asset to have for future generations and us." Access Barlow's full series of documenting Coast Redwoods and Giant Sequoia horticultural plantings in the Pacific Northwest here: http://thegreatstory.org/climate-tree... October 2021 Barlow collaborated with the Seattle-based "1000 Redwoods Project" in producing a photo-rich webpage to help Pacific NW planters of donated Coast Redwoods find the best habitats and microsites: "Finding Good Redwood Habitat in Coastal Pacific Northwest" at https://thegreatstory.org/redw/redwoo... Connie also created a long, photo-rich webpage of technical details on "Growth Capacities of Coast Redwood" that she posted on the Torreya Guardians website here: http://www.torreyaguardians.org/redwo... That page utilizes photos from this site in Pacific NW, along with a lot of photos from an old second-growth site along Freshwater Creek east of Eureka , California. Also in 2021 Barlow collaborated on a new wikipedia page rich in background and linked sources: "Assisted Migration of Forests in North America" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assiste... October 2022 the Canadian Forestry Service published a 39-page report by Richard S. Winder et al., titled, "Potential for Assisted Migration of Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) to Vancouver Island: Problems and Prospects." I have excerpted and linked the report here: http://www.torreyaguardians.org/assis... UPDATE JANUARY 2023: I just learned of a second Coast Redwood forest planting that took place in the 1990s by Hama Hama Logging Company (a subsidiary within the family owned Hama Hama Oyster Company): https://hamahamaoysters.com/pages/for... The company is located in the village of Hama Hama on the Hood Canal side of the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Its redwood forest is about 15 miles southwest of the within-forest redwood planting at Seabeck WA portrayed in this video. NEW WEBPAGE REDWOOD INFORMATION IN 2023: This youtube channel owner, Connie Barlow, is corresponding with citizens in the Seattle area who are planting Coast Redwood (and Giant Sequoia) in their area. Their website is https://propagationnation.us/ To support their effort, I created a 6-part photo-essay series on a new webpage of mine, titled, "Growth Capacities of Coast Redwoods" here: http://www.torreyaguardians.org/redwo... The 6 sections are: (1) Redwood Lignotubers, (2) Redwoods sprout from Lignotubers, (3) Fallen Branches sprout by Layering, (4) Trunk Reiteration, (5) Propagation from Cuttings (obtaining vertical orientation) and (6) Bark Beetle Evidence (on fallen redwood branch). VIDEO SERIES: "Climate, Trees, and Legacy" (a.k.a., "Helping Forests Walk") is Connie Barlow's multi-part advocacy for "assisted migration" poleward of trees native to North America. As of 2023, there are 34 videos in this series, which are listed, linked, and annotated here: http://thegreatstory.org/climate-tree... Barlow's advocacy for "assisted migration" of native trees began in 2004 with advocacy for a glacial relict conifer, left behind in its peak glacial refuge in Florida, Torreya taxifolia. Visit the Torreya Guardians website for more information on the tree and advocacy for moving it poleward: http://www.torreyaguardians.org/
