Northern California fires are at the edge of an ancient redwood forest where the oldest tree is 2000 years old. The tragedy of what’s going on there is immeasurable. 🙏🏻

Just imagine how many fires they've withstood in all that time.

The long arm of God reaches out over people and conditions, controlling this situation and protecting our forest. I send legions of angels to assist firefighters, protect plants and animals and protect all the people.

Have they ever had a fire there before? I mean 2000 years!

Yeah, but the money should be funneled to the top. It would be a knock on capitalism if a system was implemented to protect the Earth and inhabitants. 🌺

Inept land management by the state of California. They should do controlled burns and dispose of underbrush and thin out smaller trees and sapplings

it’s an all-around travesty but fortunately the redwoods might be able to mostly ride it out i hear :) nitter.vloup.ch/pyrogeog/status/…

Beware of the timber companies using this to make massive profits harvesting burned redwoods. They shouldn’t be financially rewarded by wildfires.
