If you read the article, that’s precisely what they are doing. (Well, they aren’t using go fund me.) They just need another $8 mil.
Why? It seems to me private ownership has performed at least as well as public for the preservation of the trees.
Not really. The current owners have cleared some of the forest, just not the sequoias, which probably isn’t optimal for preservation. I mean, I don’t blame the current owners, but it does seem like the trees would likely be better off as part of the adjacent park than staying in private hands.
