It’s so quiet in a redwood forest.

No flocks of chirping birds nestled in the branches, no squirrels warning everyone about everything, no wind in the leaves, no branches scraping against branches….

Not sure why, but I think it’s because the trees are so tall, what sounds occur with branches and wind occur waaaaay up there. Too, the redwoods really make such shade that other trees have trouble growing.

Very moist, and the ground is covered with redwood needles, so paths are very soft and quiet.

Squirrels…maybe it’s too much work to climb those trees.

Ross found it too much work to shake the trees….
