No amount of persuasive conversation or data will ever convince me of that. This bridge sat broken for nearly 6 months, maybe more, and was not restored original once repairs were done.
There is evidence on the bark of a recent within the last years fire. From that point Mill Creek trail goes northward up into the wooded hill.
Water and mineral nutrients--the so-called sap flow--travel from the roots to the top of the tree within a layer of wood found under the bark.
Clarks Creek is the one that crosses Walker Rd. This unique situation comes about because the xylem tissue in oaks has very large vessels; they can carry a lot of water quickly, but can also be easily disrupted by freezing and air pockets. He implored those in a position to exploit nature for excessive profit to take the moral high ground instead of robbing future generations.
After reading the original news coverage and interviews, I realized a good number of "sparks" could have been contained by defining and controlling the narrative more tightly.

She hears that her son ran away from home and his aunt and uncle are kicking him out Every year the amount and quality of the standing wood increase, and because regeneration happens gradually, the process can proceed for centuries. So in general, the water loss from the leaf is the engine that pulls water and nutrients up the tree. It might seem possible that living cells in the roots could generate high pressure in the root cells, and to a limited extent this process does occur. Every 10 to 15 years they take about a third of the timber in a stand, going for the least robust trees—the runts, as Jim Able calls them. Once this happens, water is pulled into the leaf from the vascular tissue, the xylem, to replace the water that has transpired from the leaf. The cells that conduct water along with dissolved mineral nutrients are long and narrow and are no longer alive when they function in water transport. The time to argue about the wisdom of liquidating the resource base of the planet is over. Each typical xylem vessel may only be several microns in diameter. He offers the following answer to this oft-asked question: "Once inside the cells of the root, water enters into a system of interconnected cells that make up the wood of the tree and extend from the roots through the stem and branches and into the leaves. Some delay was Preston's mis-information about no trail through the grove, implying the grove was like a mile off trail, exaggerating distance. Redwoods in Ancient Times.Representative John E.
