@@MattCookOregon If you & Jed make a movie, I'll volunteer to be a stunt double for the Redwood Tree. I'm really good at standing in one place for a really long time 🤭
we are so lucky to have 2 giant coast redwoods across the street from our house here in south salem. i think i will step outside now and admire them again! thanks matt.
I've been a Redwood nut since high school-and I'm 62 now. I've always wanted to really see this particular grove as it's known to be the northernmost place that Old-Growth Primeval Redwoods grow. This is by far the most visually I've seen of the Chetco River site-now I have to figure out how to get there! I'm in the SF Bay Area. There used to be old-growth 300 feet tall Redwoods in the Oakland hills that the first white men saw from their ships upon entering the Golden Gate to SF Bay. Thanks for the great video!
Superb as always Matt. A few years ago my son and I stumbled on a different (also very small) grove of redwoods along the southern Oregon coast with a short, easy hiking trail. It was nice enough, but this area looks more appealing. Redwood forests have a unique beauty and majesty...it's a shame more of Oregon's redwoods haven't been preserved.
There are also 20+ beautiful redwoods 15 miles north of your video I know because I planted them on my property on South Bank Road, Pistol River, OR 25 years ago!😊
Such a magical tree. Them and Sequoias are 2 of my favorites. I have only been to the area in this video once, in 2021 when I went on my most epic adventure to date. Thanks for another great video Matt, hope to see you on the trail some day.
We stayed at a house by the Ocean ,breathtaking place Crescent City California.is where we stayed. On the Oregon coast to Portland we had a great time then back home
Great video Matt! I was just down in this area for the first time last spring! I found some small groves up on the forest roads off the Chetco river. Really enjoyed your commentary on this one. I always learn so much from your videos!
Excellent video!! Really enjoyed it. Beautifully filmed and the editing is perfectly paced! Great commentary. Agree about the preference for the dog-friendly option! Haven't been on this trail in a while and I think it's time to go back! I thank those people who voiced their outrage and saved this grove of redwoods!
Great video. Thank you. I think that there can be a balance between man's use of the environment and conservation. Both are needed without skewing heavily to one side or the other. I agree that fire suppression has been a disastrous policy. Again, I love your videos highlighting the beauty of our state.
Thank you. There could be a balance, some places there is. Some would call what we have a balance, where the coast range is a tree farm, and east of that is mostly good forest land. Taking care of forests just isn't appealing to government/businesses pockets.
Thank you. Didn't recognize the name. I would like to see some good ones from here. I hardly had time to get a few video clips with my family circus haha.
Incredible video and new subscriber here even though I’ve been watching your videos off and on for some time I thought I subscribed??? Anyways you do an amazing job on covering these natural wonders and have a pleasant voice. Thank you.
My understanding is historically they could be found as far north as the Umpqua River in SW Oregon. There are still isolated small groves of them in spots in SW Oregon North of the Chetco River area. Port Orford cedar is another very rare tree in that area, highly desired for its wood by wood workers.
Lovely video. Y'all take good care of these trees, y'hear. I have a large redwood next door. It gets me through the Winter with its lovely scent. A sister tree is behind her in another yard. They share root systems. I live in Oakland CA and 10 minutes from my house is Joaquin Miller Park & it's 2nd & 3rd growth redwood forests. Then we have Reinholdt Redwood Park full of redwoods, also 2nd & 3rd growth. Redwoods grow down past Big Sur. Also on Haleakala (Maui) there is a grove planted. There is a grove planted in New Zealand. Dawn Redwoods grow in China. btw: dogs use our trails as do horses and bikes. There are certain parks that don't allow dogs & some allow leashed dogs. Dogs chase bunnies and other small wildlife, so its the price we have to pay.
Thank you. Cool to hear the random places the trees are found. According to redwoods national park, all the good trails are no dog. Yes there are some on the outskirts.
The clear-cuts in Oregon are out of control.....The forest service have rubber stamped the creation of forest farms everywhere in the Northwest....I know exactly where this is....Mt Emily, Brookings, Chetco river. Headed back soon...Keep on rolling Matt,love your channel. ❤🌎😎
Thank you very much. They can be a bit much when you get to the coast range. Fortunately my favorite cascade range are mostly government land that is protected. Unfortunately they are protected by the government who can't keep up with the fires!
As has been said, the coastal Redwood is a very fast growing tree. I planted some in the central valley of California, an area too hot and dry, so not naturally suited for their growth and they thrived, reaching forty feet in ten years. They just require more water and of course will never grow to the size they reach in coastal environments. I suspect the doug firs were planted because there would not be any restriction on harvesting them.
Quality presentation Matt, I really enjoyed your characterization of Redwoods as members of a biodiverse community. The Smith and Illinois are a couple of my favorite places along with the Klamath Siskiyou knot. Did you pilot your drone footage? I’m an aspiring drone videographer and am curious to know what gear is in your kit if you don’t mind sharing.
Thanks for the comment. Everything on the channel is done by me. I have a dji Air 3. Air 3 fits my needs very well as it has quality camera and lightweight to pack it anywhere. I also like the multiple lenses so I can zoom in to places I am not supposed to fly over. Let me know if you have more discussion about video making as I am pretty passionate on that topic.
Thank you, Matt. That is a lovely grove that I will make a point to visit in the future. All those doug fir trees on either side - are they harvested for timber? Too bad more redwoods aren't planted there to bolster the health of that grove, they are so magnificent!
Thank you. The dougfir were harvested, and probably will be in another 20 years. I hear there is just less of a market for redwood, so tree farms wont grow them nearly as much.
@@MattCookOregon Thank you for your reply. I actually was not thinking about "market value" regarding the redwoods. I just thought it would be earth friendly and maybe forward-looking to plant more redwoods, expanding the redwood forest and habitat.
@@maszaan7024 No but I read about it when researching for this. Seems cool. I don't get to Portland area too often. I keep meaning to since videos around there would be popular.
I was surprised to see them on Limpy Creek Botanical trail in Grants Pass. Relatively big, but not stout grove big. I didn't think they were supposed to be so far north. They might have been planted by people decades ago.
Some notes: There appears to be a subspecies or variant S sempervirens, occurring about Sonoma county CA down to the Central coast south of Big Sur (the name of a river). (having planted on right near local forms in the Humboldt Bay area, one can see different growth responses to th eyoung wild ones. I have not read yet of genomic variations relevant) they are adapted to the much warmer weather , all around San Francisco Bay and the coast beyons. Fragmentation is indeed the problem, as massive human exploitation, "development" and even foot and bicycle traffic impacting the ground near tress is a factor. Those red networks just below soil surface, interconnect trees, and certainly, signaling molecules are emitted, just as in other plant species, communicating some advance information . Although there are about five major types of fungi in that Kingdom of life, one does not see the mushroom (basidiomycetes), unlike Doug Firs or Sitka Spruce. Readers will have to search what fungi are associated with redwood roots - since there are over 3000 species of fungi here, it is highly likely that some are commensal or mutualists with redwoods, although as you can tell from redwood ages, no strongly parasitic species are at all likely. Some of the hugest trees are located close to the bottoms of valleys next to water, . It may be that the longer shade - indirect sunlight period as well as the typical stimulus of growth toward light have tended to make such groves and individual trees the largest. Here redwoods have been measured to extract a foot - 12" of water from fog. As the climate has changed to hotter and dryer inland, NWS reports exactly what climate model predicted, cooler summers for the Northern CA and SW Oregon coast. It was a cooler summer than commonly experienced here, and will continue to be so, as air , wind moves from cool ocean to hot land. A Seattle group has for some years been selecting seeds from the largest trees to plant up around Puget Sound. Because of the fact that Redwoods reach up and collect fog droplets, as well as calming the winds (it's QUITE peaceful in a redwood forest, and much drier than the rainstorms and wind in open areas), redwoods won't escape" or become invasive species there. I note tha5t Seattle is hotter and sunnier than we are from Chetko through western coastal Mendocino county. Jus tyesterday morning when most logging trucks are rushing on US 101, i notice again that the cut trees are tinier than ever. Most look like doug fir, but of course it is USDA Forest Service and the corruptly obtained (in the 1800s. a long story which I won't repeat right now) private land. Red Emmerson of Redding CA is the LARGEST landowner in the United States. He himself is in his 90s and still involved in cutting forests from Sierra Nevadas to Cascades and redwood country, although there are other redwood killers for profit. Most of the "knowledge" about thinning or clearing biomass from forest floors to prevent fire is FALSE. Large forest expanses are about 15-20F COOLER in summer, and near that much warmer in winter, and only cleared areas ever get into the 70F or higher range when wildfire can take hold. When temperatures remain below 60F, you will find that evaporation is minimal. Forests stay WET. cut areas and ecotones, the border of big forest and open treeless land are hot. This is where fires start, whether the largely arson/accident of humans playing with fire start over 85% of all fires.
How is Douglas Fir easier to manage? Redwood is easy to grow and will grow back from the stump. D.Fir dies when cut. Plus Coast Redwood will self correct if the central leader is broken while D. Fir will develop many competing leaders causing the top of the tree to bush out.
@@MattCookOregon You mentioned the surrounding Douglas Fir reprod. Have you heard of the Doerner/Brummit Fir? Somehow it (still) survived the surrounding clear cuts. It’s just a short drive from Roseburg. At 100m in height, it's the World's Largest Douglas Fir. And until the recent Chinese Cypress discovery; the Doerner Fir was the World's Tallest tree that WASN’T a Redwood. I think it's still like #4 in the world by height and is 11.5' DBH/36' circumference. I'd highly recommend going for a visit, man; the top doesn't look too healthy, so experience it while you still can.
In the center is an a real forest flanked by commercial tree farms that bear no resemblance to an actual forest. Unfortunately they make make up most of Oregon’s “forests”
Yeah they are definitely farms/plantations rather than straight forests. Its a hard balance cause we need the wood for houses and whatnot, but don't want to look at ugly forests.
@@MattCookOregon My preference is no music because every video every show on TV every documentary has loud music playing in the background or irritating sound effects. I think simple narration and good videography are enough.
No, I recently went there and the fire is did not get too close. It looks perfectly like it did like 10 years ago or something. My point is thankfully the fire did not reach.
The irony of settlers calling Native Americans savages. They lived in harmony with nature for at least 10,000. It took “real Americans” less than 100 years to wipe out forest, pollute rivers and destroy salmon and steelhead stocks.
No people. Corporations. -which are institutions derived to service and exploit colonial empire. In other words, the problem is colonialism and enforced global uniformity. Don't get played.
@@westernciviccapital3075it looks like you got a college degree by the vocabulary you use. Now you feel guilty because you used your privilege and colonialism to be successful and now are being played by political parties because of your white guilt to further their agenda.
Too many owners refuse to leash their dogs and pick up the poop. I see it all the time. I've been a responsible dog owner all my life and it's really annoying how many entitled idiots insist on letting their dogs run loose, annoying other people, as well as wildlife. Like many things, it's a few morons who make such rules necessary.
So many trails are littered with dog crap and plastic bags of dog crap that no, dogs shouldn’t be allowed at all. The majority of owners are not responsible enough and if we make exceptions for the few “good ones” things get out of control immediately. Nobody thinks they’re the problem.

If it can be arranged, maybe it's time for Oregon to grow more redwoods as temperatures rise and the habitat disappears in California.

When you put it like that it does not sound great.

Buy and Use Bamboo products please!
Yes. So many ways to save resources and energy. Not sure what we can do about building houses/apartments without dougfir though.
They chopped all the trees down to put up a parking lot.
Its more of a pull off so maybe they cut like 10 trees down.

No, I recently went there and the fire is did not get too close. It looks perfectly like it did like 10 years ago or something. My point is thankfully the fire did not reach.
If you’re wondering why I keep asking you is because I updated it. It’s on your other most recent video the. Homer Lake lake birdwatching video
😰
God they just took ALL the trees I hate what people do so much.
The irony of settlers calling Native Americans savages. They lived in harmony with nature for at least 10,000. It took “real Americans” less than 100 years to wipe out forest, pollute rivers and destroy salmon and steelhead stocks.
No people. Corporations. -which are institutions derived to service and exploit colonial empire. In other words, the problem is colonialism and enforced global uniformity. Don't get played.
@@westernciviccapital3075🙄Obviously a graduate of U of O!
@@westernciviccapital3075it looks like you got a college degree by the vocabulary you use. Now you feel guilty because you used your privilege and colonialism to be successful and now are being played by political parties because of your white guilt to further their agenda.
Just remember: part of what people did was make you.
Horrible music completely unnecessary.
If you make a nice donation I will send you one without the music.
Well that won't last long being oregon, that state is a drug wasteland..
@@kjflyte5088 Check my videos. Oregon is pretty nice.
National Parks need to end that no dog policy, no reason they cannot be on a leash except in a few special zones.
You're coming here to talk about dogs??
Wha..
WHY?!
@@jasongarcia2140 In the video I commented on the Cali redwoods being no dog zones.
They used to allow dogs but too many irresponsible people ruined it for everyone
Too many owners refuse to leash their dogs and pick up the poop. I see it all the time. I've been a responsible dog owner all my life and it's really annoying how many entitled idiots insist on letting their dogs run loose, annoying other people, as well as wildlife. Like many things, it's a few morons who make such rules necessary.
So many trails are littered with dog crap and plastic bags of dog crap that no, dogs shouldn’t be allowed at all. The majority of owners are not responsible enough and if we make exceptions for the few “good ones” things get out of control immediately. Nobody thinks they’re the problem.
Timber companies have been planting redwoods in Oregon for near 30 years now
I am sure they do. But there are still about 5% of what we had originally.
