ghostsofevolution | CTL 9D - California Sequoias Thrive in Urban Parks of Seattle and Portland @ghostsofevolution | Uploaded September 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This is the fourth segment of the video series documenting that California's Sequoia and Redwood trees thrive in coastal Pacific NW — an example of "assisted migration" poleward well underway. Filmed in 2016 and 2017, assembled August 2017. Host: Connie Barlow. Click on timecoded topics:
00:38 - Introduction to assisted migration of California's redwood & sequoia trees
02:25 - Laurelhurst Park in Portland, OR: documentation of 3 redwood species (intro)
04:01 - Giant Sequoias (Sequoiadendron) in Laurelhurst Park
07:38 - Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia) adult and its wild-cast seedling ("naturalized")
11:51 - Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens)
13:03 - Redwoods (alone) have basal sprouts
13:48 - Examples of regrowth basal sprouts in logged redwoods of n. California
16:14 - A second Coast Redwood in Laurelhurst Park (has cones)
16:43 - Three more Dawn Redwoods in Laurelhurst Park (cones on ground)
17:27 - Close-up of cone distinctions bt the 3 redwood cousin species
18:41 - map of California native ranges v. Portland and Seattle
18:53 - map of 2 locations in urban Seattle where document redwood species
19:19 - Washington Park Arboretum - begin with grove of Sequoiadendron
20:30 - Metasequoia in Washington Park Arboretum
20:57 - Redwood grove in Washington Park Arboretum
23:11 - University of Washington campus trees (all 3 redwood species)
27:50 - Lessons: list of 5 advantages of urban parks and arboretums
30:49 - Preview of CTL 9E - Are inland Pac NW locations too dry?
31:34 - maps and summary of "assisted migration" for trees research
32:04 - Preview of CTL 9F - Fossil evidence of redwood species Pac NW
October 2017 UPDATE: On another visit to Laurelhurst Park this month, along SE Oak St. discovered 3 seedling redwoods naturalized in a shrubby strip between the road and several big old Coast Redwoods.

• Watch a 2019 documentary on vimeo about an old urban planting of 3 GIANT SEQUOIAS in Portland OR that a developer was trying to have cut down. Residents came out en masse, including a tree sitter. A combination of public sentiment (plus donated money) finally gave the trees permanent protection: vimeo.com/372758676?ref=fb-share&fbclid=IwAR0jMhwPvzj6uk3VnoXTocFBaMJiGr9z3dHv6auvC9YnotULQWmvr-6gqlE
• See state-by-state galleries of photos (with site descriptions) of Giant Sequoia, Coast Redwood, and Dawn Redwood planted far beyond their native ranges. This page goes to the Washington State gallery: giant-sequoia.com/gallery/usa/washington
• Hundreds of locations (with photos) of all 3 redwood species planted in the U.K. here:

• October 2022 the Canadian Forestry Service published a 39-page report by Richard Winder et al., which I have excerpted and linked here: torreyaguardians.org/assisted-migration.html#winder-2022
