The amazing Grandfather Tree on the Redwood Highway in Humboldt County
in California.
Estimated
to be over 1800-years old, this amazing double-trunked redwood is
famous
for its large limbs, full foliage and picturesque qualities,
standing on its own in an area otherwise crowded with trees.
It is over
265 ft. tall and has one of
the largest trunks on the Redwood Highway.
It is 55 ft. in circumference.
Mrs. Voigt's First Grade students study the song, "This Land is Your
Land".
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by
Woody Guthrie
Chorus: This land is your
land, this land is my land From California, to
the New York Island From the Redwood
forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for
you and me
First Graders then joined hands around a "normal
tree." The circumference of
the students with their joined hands was approximately the 55 feet that
would be
how wide the "Grandfather Tree" would be in
California!!! Wow!
