The Sequoia Project |

In early 2012, an ancient giant sequoia succumbed to battering storm winds and blew down in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, about 60 miles northeast of Porterville, CA.
Nearly ALL tree-falls in national parks are left to naturally decay and return to the environment with little or no human intervention. This giant sequoia fell in a campground. The US Forest Service deemed the tree-fall an attractive hazard and decided to have it removed for the safety of their park visitors. To our delight, GL Veneer was granted a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to responsibly recover this heritage sequoia and create a worthy legacy.
What follows is the first of several articles that will document and establish the provenance of this conservancy. These articles will document the recovery techniques and how this reclaimed treasure is transformed into items that will live on in tribute to this ancient giant.
