OPPOSE THE "SAVE" OUR SEQUOIAS ACT
Giving agencies the freedom to fire up their chainsaws, sidestep environmental protections, crush seedlings, and expand logging—even in National Parks and Wilderness—will not "save" our groves. It will degrade them.

A Day in the Life of Wildfire Scientists 🔥
It is difficult, beautiful work. Few people have witnessed this remarkable chapter in sequoia history, and fewer still have studied it. Through demanding fieldwork, we're documenting the relationships that sustain these ecosystems.
ROADLESS RULE COMMENTS DUE
Use your voice to oppose rescission of the Roadless Rule today. And let's advocate for closing the logging loopholes that leave roadless areas vulnerable!

In Freeman Creek Grove alone, we estimated that the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition has already killed over 158,000 naturally regenerating giant sequoias. Watch the full video on YouTube.

WHEN LOGGING IS SOLD AS A CLIMATE SOLUTION
A recent "Boiling Point" episode left out a major part of the climate conversation. There's much more to this story, and to the science. Read our full response!

This is what it looks like to study giant sequoia natural regeneration following high-intensity fire. Mile after mile, our team of scientists push the limits to gain valuable insights about post-fire habitats. There's an entire forest growing beneath the montane chaparral.
HAPPY FALL EQUINOX 🍁
Today, the fall equinox marks the beginning of a new season and a beautiful shift across the wild. Growth slows, forests settle into autumn, and life adjusts to a changing world. Happy fall from the JMP team!
Stay up to date!

As I write this, a shadowy coalition is making substantial sums of money exploiting and destroying giant sequoia groves on public lands and lying about it. Learn more in our blog below!

JMP @EnergyDems hearing today. Waiting to hear whether @SenAlexPadilla will submit the letter from over 120 NGO’s OPPOSING S.4103 the so called “save” Our Sequoias Act. johnmuirproject.org/wp-conte…
THIS IS FIELD RESEARCH
Thousands of giant sequoias are growing after high-intensity fire, often hidden under dense native shrubs. We go deep into places few people reach to collect the data and make sure the science reflects the conditions on the ground.

SEQUOIA SUNSETS
Five years after fire, the sun slips behind the ridge as towering snags catch the last light. Beneath a sea of shrubs—mostly hidden from view—thousands upon thousands of giant sequoia seedlings and saplings are rising.
How many can you find?
Hey @SenAdamSchiff @SenAlexPadilla @SenateAg @SenateDems @EnergyDems think Giant Sequoias don’t grow back after fire? Think again! Don’t pass the “Save” Our Sequoias Act or The “Fix” Our Forests Act. Be leaders who protect this iconic species, not ones who destroy them.
The Trump Admin wants to repeal the #RoadlessRule We say stop this nonsense and strengthen it instead! johnmuirproject.org/2026/08/…
Do you know where this sea of regeneration surrounding JMP staff is? Or what species these young trees are? Leave your answers in the comments! Hint, these youngsters will become some of the biggest trees in the world. #resilience #postfire #knpcomplexfire

Amazing rejuvenation of high severity burn 5yrs after Caldor Fire. @forestservice @LakeTahoeUSFS claims this must be “thinned” and sprayed with glyphosate to recover… End the logging lies. We need infrastructure hardening, NOT ECOCIDE! #herbicides #tahoe #nature
