Re: [RC] Headwaters Ride and old growth - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "David LeBlanc" <dleblanc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Been there - it's a great place. Once you've been there, you'd never mistake any cut Eastern forest for old-growth. It takes hundreds of years to get a grove of trees that big. and according to Save the Redwoods League: "Out of the original 1.97 million acres of redwood forest, approximately 95.5% have been logged and 95% of the original range is still redwood forest. Approximately 88,650 acres of the original 1.97 million acres of redwood forest is old growth (4.5%)."
