Alder Creek Grove, Protected sequoia grove in Sierra Nevada, California
Alder Creek Grove spans 785 acres with 483 giant sequoias measuring at least 25.5 feet in diameter across its mountainous terrain.
The Rouch family purchased the grove in 1946 for logging purposes but found the giant sequoia wood too brittle for commercial use.
The Save the Redwoods League gathered support from 8,500 contributors worldwide to protect this natural sanctuary for future generations.
The grove requires seasonal access restrictions and visitors must follow designated trails to maintain the natural environment.
The Stagg Tree within the grove ranks as the fifth largest tree globally, containing 42,557 cubic feet of volume.
