Giant Sequoias 2011: State of Knowledge, Current Status, and Management Concerns Giant sequoia is an iconic plant species native to California‘s Sierra Nevada, and is perhaps one of the most culturally important non-commercial species in the United States – and perhaps the world. It is one of only a few species – plant or animal – that have the distinction of contributing greatly to the evolution of how humanity views its relationship to the natural world (Tweed 1994; Engbeck 1973). This paper reviews and summarizes the giant sequoia literature, the range of management methods used by various agencies responsible for giant sequoia groves, the current status of the species in general, and ecological threats that the species may be facing.
