Nelder Grove, Protected sequoia grove in Sierra National Forest, California.
The 1,540-acre forest contains 60 mature Giant Sequoia trees, forming the largest concentration of these ancient trees in Sierra National Forest.
The Madera Sugar Pine Company transferred the land to the U.S. Forest Service in 1928, establishing federal protection for the remaining sequoias.
Archaeological evidence shows the area served as a seasonal center for Mono and Miwok tribes, with mortar holes used for acorn grinding.
The grove features five distinct trails ranging from 0.2 to 5.5 miles, with the Bull Buck Tree Loop offering a moderate 0.75-mile hiking experience.
The Railroad Fire of 2017 affected the grove significantly, leading researchers to study the relationship between fire severity and sequoia seedling growth.
