180 Dead Trees Near Trail to Be Cut Down
From Times Wire Reports
More than 180 dead trees pose a danger to hikers along one of the southern Sierra Nevada’s most popular trails and will be cut down, U.S. Forest Service officials said.
The Trail of 100 Giants in Giant Sequoia National Monument leads visitors on a half-mile walk through a grove of ancient giant sequoia trees.
None of the dead trees along the trail is a giant sequoia. But forest officials said the danger of one of them falling is so great they’re skipping the environmental study they would usually do on a such project.
