ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Hundreds of redwoods have burned in California, the latest casualty of the dozens of wildfires raging across the state. ⁣ ⁣ The 118-year-old Big Basin Redwoods State Park — California’s oldest — has been devastated. It’s home to the largest continuous stand of old-growth coast redwoods south of San Francisco and was created in 1902 during a statewide movement to save forests that were being razed as California boomed in the decades after the Gold Rush. Officials said that the park had sustained “extensive damage,” including to its headquarters, “historic core” and campgrounds.⁣ ⁣⁣ Though some redwoods, which have remarkable rejuvenating abilities, may be able to survive the flames, Kristen Shive, a scientist for @savetheredwoods, cautioned that trees that were scorched will not look the same. Their trunks might be intact, but some tree crowns — the tops — were probably incinerated and will take years to regrow.⁣ ⁣ In the past several years, infernos have burned Yosemite National Park, blackened Joshua Tree National Park’s palm-strewn Oasis of Mara, damaged the Paramount Ranch and eviscerated Malibu summer camps beloved for generations.⁣ ⁣ This week’s fires have burned across more than 771,000 acres of California and have largely stemmed from an extraordinary spate of dry lightning. As of Friday, there were some 560 blazes, about two dozen of them major.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in our bio to read more about the redwoods and for the latest on the wildfires.
