From late April through August, DEC field crews visit each confirmed giant hogweed site, and use the appropriate control method. This is free of charge to the landowner. In general management is decided by the size and number of plants:

DEC has giant hogweed publications for distribution. Email DEC or call the Giant Hogweed Information Line at 845-256-3111 to let us know how many brochures and posters you can use. Provide your mailing address so we can mail them to you.

Giant sequoias and their ecosystems face dramatic declines from intense, high-mortality fires caused by prolonged drought and the accumulation of heavy forest fuels; as well as other urgent new stressors, such as death or weakening from bark beetle attack and drought stress, and potential shifting of suitable microclimates outside of their existing range.

The Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition (GSLC) is an organized collaboration of public and non-governmental organizations with a shared commitment aimed at the conservation of giant sequoia grove ecosystems. The coalition is comprised of all federal, tribal, state, local agencies and organizations that manage giant sequoia groves in public, tribal or private non-profit ownership. Affiliate partners include select federal and state conservation agencies, non-governmental organization conservation groups, and academic research partners, with a shared commitment to protect giant sequoias and their ecosystems from emerging threats associated with climate change and the extended absence of natural, low severity wildfire processes on the landscape.

Yes. Preliminary estimates indicate that 10-14% of all large giant sequoias (over 4 feet in diameter) in the tree's native range died in the Castle Fire of 2020, and an additional 3-5% died in the Windy Fire and KNP Complex in 2021. This does not include trees smaller than 4 feet in diameter or trees planted outside of the native range.

In some areas giant sequoia trees may not regenerate due to the incineration of cones, seeds, and overstory trees. In other areas of low and moderate severity the fire will likely have beneficial effects, reducing fuels and possibly creating conditions for giant sequoia regeneration such as bare mineral soil and small canopy gaps.

Tree ring studies of giant sequoias provide a long record of climate and fire history, helping land managers and scientists better understand relationships of climate, fire, and the giant sequoia life cycle.

Fire plays a crucial role in the giant sequoia ecosystem. Fire scars in tree rings dating back 2,000 years show that widespread fires occurred naturally at intervals ranging from 6 to 35 years in these forests.

Threats to giant sequoias have been exacerbated in recent years due to unusually high temperatures and the effects of low precipitation associated with drought. The following impacts are believed to contribute to the higher levels of giant sequoia mortality than ever previously observed:

Prescribed burn reduces fuels and facilitates giant sequoia regeneration. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks have a long history of prescribed burning in giant sequoia and other mixed- conifer forests, since the late 1960s. Prescribed burns reduce fuels, create favorable conditions for tree regeneration, and increase forest resilience to climate change impacts. However, it has not been possible to conduct as much prescribed fire as is needed in these forests. In recent years, extensive, severe wildfires in California have stretched fire-fighting resources thin and generated unhealthy levels of smoke for extended periods of time. Due to warming temperatures and drought, fire seasons are increasing in length and severity, and the window of time for prescribed burning is smaller most years.

"Capturing images of the Vangunu giant rat for the first time is extremely positive news for this poorly known species," lead study author Tyrone Lavery from the University of Melbourne said. "... The images show the Vangunu giant rat lives in Zaira's primary forests, and these lands (particularly the Dokoso tribal area) represent the last remaining habitat for the species. Logging consent has been granted at Zaira, and if it proceeds it will undoubtably lead to extinction of the Vangunu giant rat."

This dough is easy to make, tender and delicious! After making the dough into a giant cinnamon roll cake one time, I now make the dough into eight individual rolls. They fit nicely into an eight inch square pan.

The undisputed King of the Forest, the General Sherman Tree is not only the largest living tree in the world, but the largest living organism, by volume, on the planet. A giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), General Sherman is:

Encompassing approximately 13,377 acres that will protect 12 giant sequoia groves, the emergency fuels treatments would remove surface and ladder fuels that present the greatest wildfire risk and include hand cutting of small trees, mechanical removal of trees, application of borate on green stumps, pulling duff away from the base of large giant sequoias and prescribed burning.

Most of the planned treatments have already initiated NEPA required environmental reviews. The environmental review processes for two of the projects are scheduled to be completed by April 2023 and the other will be completed by November 2023. With the emergency action, giant sequoias could receive accelerated protection by as much as 9 to 12 months in most groves and years earlier in other groves. The intent is to complete treatments by 2023 but may continue through the end of 2024.

While we were in Austin a few weeks ago we had a fun evening out with some friends. At this rooftop bar, they had a giant Jenga set. Whoa! Apparently this is a thing. But this was my first experience with a giant Jenga. It was a blast!

Giant hogweed is originally from Asia and was introduced as an ornamental. Spreading by seed, giant hogweed has escaped into numerous backyards, ravines, parks, abandoned lots, streams, woods, and roadsides. It can crowd out other plants and take over natural areas, especially in moist areas such as streamsides. Somewhat shade tolerant, giant hogweed can also thrive in full sun and has been known to even invade healthy turf.

Giant hogweed is similar in appearance to our native cow parsnip, only it is much larger, the purplish blotches are more raised and bumpy, and the hairs on the under surface of the leaf are shorter (about .25 mm long). Cow parsnip seeds also tend to be wider at the base whereas giant hogweed seeds are more often elliptical, the same width at the base and seed tip (click here for a detailed description of giant hogweed seeds).

Please notify us if you see giant hogweed growing in King County. Our program staff can provide the property owner or appropriate public agency with site-specific advice on how best to remove it. We map all known locations of regulated noxious weeds such as giant hogweed in order to help us and others locate new infestations in time to control them.

Scientists on the South Pacific island of Vangunu have taken pictures of a critically endangered, giant, coconut-eating rat for the first time. The Vangunu giant rat (Uromys vika or U. vika ) is at least twice the size of a common rat, lives in trees, and can reportedly use its teeth to chew through the tough husks of coconuts. It is only known to only inhabit one island in the Solomon Islands. The sighting was reported in a study published November 20 in the journal Ecology and Evolution.

Giant knotweed is native to Asia and was imported to North America in the late 1800s as an ornamental. It was also planted for erosion control and as livestock forage. Since its introduction, giant knotweed has escaped cultivation and is classified as a serious invasive species in several states. Giant knotweed hybridizes with Japanese knotweed to form the Bohemian knotweed species.

Giant knotweed forms tall, dense thickets that shade out and displace native vegetation, degrade habitat for fish and wildlife, alter waterways, and facilitate erosion and flooding. Once established, it dominates native vegetation and is a significant problem in riparian areas where stream-side tree growth is greatly reduced. Research studies have also shown that giant knotweed produces allelopathic chemicals from its roots, which prevent other plant species from growing and competing with it. be457b7860
