A Tale of Resilience and Community
Amidst the serene embrace of the Redwoods, we shared stories, laughter, and tears. We reconnected with ourselves, with each other, and with the earth beneath our feet.
Happy Friday Friends!

Now, let's dive into today's story...
Do you believe in magic? Some say magic is just something science hasn’t figured out yet. But when it comes to coast redwood trees, the more science reveals about them, the more enchanting they seem. Walking through the Redwood Forest in the Santa Cruz mountains, redwoods can often be seen growing in fairy rings. Resilient redwoods can sprout new trees from their branches, trunk, and, like fungi, from their roots. Although redwood trees have cones to disperse their seeds like other conifers, they are ironically tiny for the tallest living species on earth.
Even after facing threats like logging and fires in the Santa Cruz mountains, a coast redwood tree will sprout new trees from its roots, which spread out from the tree in a—you guessed it—circle. The trees grow tall and strong together as they are cared for by the parent tree's roots.
