Northern Grove of Sequoia Gigantea Found Near Forrest Hill
William W. Price of Stanford reports a new sequoia gigantea grove in Placer County about 15 miles east of Forrest Hill, 5000 feet up. Only six trees remain, largest about 12 feet in diameter, with one fallen trunk 20 feet wide at the base, amid sag elms and sugar pines. The grove, possibly the northernmost known, was first described by Price after June 20 with Hoffman and Ferguson, with older bark dates suggesting early discovery and long-ago exploration. Price plans further extensive exploration of the so-called Northern Grove.
