Size of Boole Tree[edit]

The Boole Tree is claimed to be one of the ten largest Giant Sequoias with a base diameter of 35.65 feet (112 / π), yet the next sentence states that "regular" Sequoia trees have a base diameter of 40 feet! This would make the Boole Tree smaller than the normal Sequoia. Backspace (talk) 08:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redwood National and State Parks designation REMOVED[edit]

"Redwood National and State Parks" is a VERY specific name for only REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK and the three state parks (Prarie Creek, Del Norte Coast, and Jedediah Smith) that are located adjacent to (actually touching) Redwood National Park. This category is in error listing any parks beyond those three State parks in addition to RNP and will confuse readers. No other parks are included in the historic management compact that exists in between only the three listed state parks and Redwood National Park. Disagree?

National Register of Historic Places Sites[edit]

Previously stated "The National Monument includes several places listed on the National Register of Historic Places including a historic cabins district, a ranger cabin, and the south entrance sign." The entrance sign, historic cabin districts are in Sequoia National Park not the Monument. According to the National Register of Historic Places there are no sites within the monument that the Forest Service has had listed. The National Park Service has gotten the General's Highway listed and that road serves as part of the Park and Forest/Monument boundary. The forest does have concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Officer that some sites are eligible for the Register but the Forest Service has not completed the process to get them listed on the Register. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gator567 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Limited, but Biased, Text[edit]

IMHO, this particular article is heavily slanted in favor of the lumber industry, the political supporters of the U.S. Forest Service, an agency of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, which looks upon the National Forests (and this National Monument) as crop resources rather than as national, natural treasures. Although proclaimed a Natl. Monument in 2000, as of 2008 this National Monument was still being logged for pine and other lumber species with no end in sight. The Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and other conservation organizations should also be contributing to this article to present a balanced view. SFFrog (talk) 13:34, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
