At Big Basin Redwoods State Park, many old-growth redwood trees lost their branches in the fire five years ago, but these trees have adapted to recover after fire. Dormant buds, hidden sometimes for centuries, burst into new growth called epicormic sprouting. These fast-growing shoots help the trees photosynthesize again and rebuild their canopy. Nature’s resilience is on full display in the redwo
