Sequoia National Forest is located in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The U.S. National Forest is named for the majestic Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) trees which populate 38 distinct groves within the boundaries of the forest.

The Giant Sequoia National Monument is located in the national forest. Other notable features include glacier-carved landscapes and impressive granite monoliths. The Needles are a series of granite spires atop a narrow ridge above the Kern River. Forest headquarters are located in Porterville, California. There are local ranger district offices in Dunlap, Kernville, Lake Isabella, and Springville.^[2]

Geography

The Sequoia National Forest covers 1,193,315 acres (1,864.555 sq mi; 4,829.17 km²),^[1] and ranges in elevation from 1,000 feet (300 m) in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada to over 12,000 feet (3,700 m). Its Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) groves are part of its 196,000 acres (790 km²) of old growth forests. Other tree species include:^[3]

Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi)
Red Fir (Abies magnifica)
Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii)
Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa)
White Fir (Abies concolor)
Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta)

The Needles

The Needles are a series of granite spires atop a narrow ridge above the Kern River.(36°07′17″N 118°30′16″W / 36.1214°N 118.5044°W / 36.1214; -118.5044)^[4]

Wilderness areas

There are six wilderness areas within Sequoia NF that are part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Some of these extend into neighboring National Forests, as indicated. Two of them also extend into land that is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

Domeland Wilderness (partly BLM)
Golden Trout Wilderness (mostly in Inyo NF)
Jennie Lakes Wilderness
Kiavah Wilderness (mostly BLM)
Monarch Wilderness (partly in Sierra NF)
South Sierra Wilderness (mostly in Inyo NF)

Recreation

The National Forest contains over 2,500 miles (4,000 km) of road and 850 miles (1,370 km) of trails, and hosts a number of camping and recreational facilities. The forest is adjacent to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

History

Sequoia National Forest was established on July 1, 1908 from a portion of Sierra Forest Reserve. On March 2, 1909 Theodore Roosevelt added land by Presidential Proclamation.^[5] On July 1, 1910 1,951,191 acres (7,896.19 km²) was removed from the forest to create the Kern National Forest.^[6] This land was returned to Sequoia National Forest on July 1, 1915.

Giant sequoia groves

Further information: List of giant sequoia groves

The Sequoia National Forest has 34 giant sequoia groves.

The 14 groves in the Kings River watershed are in the northern section of Giant Sequoia National Monument (GSNM), or in the Sequoia National Forest (SeNF), in southernmost Fresno County and Tulare County:

Indian Basin Grove (GSNM) A mid-size grove, mostly logged. It can be accessed by paved roads. The grove contains many young sequoias approaching diameters of up to 10 feet (3.0 m). 36°48′N 118°56′W / 36.800°N 118.933°W / 36.800; -118.933 1800–2000 m.
Converse Basin Grove (GSNM). Once the second-largest grove, but much logged around 1890-1900; However, nearly 100 widely scattered old-growth Giant Sequoias remain (apparently bypassed by the loggers), also good regrowth of younger trees. Home of the Boole Tree, which the loggers spared as it was by far the largest tree in the grove and is now identified as the sixth-largest tree by volume. Also home of the Chicago Stump, which is the remnant of the General Noble Tree that was cut for the 1893 World Columbian Exposition; the General Noble Tree was the second largest tree in the grove (after the Boole Tree) and it was the largest tree ever cut down. Although not among the very largest Giant Sequoias, the General Noble Tree was perhaps among the top 30 largest Giant Sequoias before it was cut. 36°48′N 118°58′W / 36.800°N 118.967°W / 36.800; -118.967 1800–2000 m.
Lockwood Grove (GSNM). 36°48′N 118°52′W / 36.800°N 118.867°W / 36.800; -118.867 1700–1800 m.
Monarch Grove (GSNM). Immediately north of the Agnew Grove, near Monarch Wilderness boundary. On Forest Service GSNM map.
Evans Grove (GSNM). Partially logged, before 1920. 36°48'N 118°49'30"W 2050–2250 m.
Agnew & Deer Meadow Grove (GSNM). 36°47′20″N 118°46′45″W / 36.78889°N 118.77917°W / 36.78889; -118.77917 1950–2000 m.
Cherry Gap Grove (GSNM). Logged. Located between Converse Basin Grove and General Grant Grove, near McGee Overlook (36°46′40″N 118°57′30″W / 36.77778°N 118.95833°W / 36.77778; -118.95833). 2070 m. Cherry Gap Grove is a small sequoia grove of about thirty-five acres in Sequoia national forest; it was logged of all of its old growth sequoias.
Abbott Creek Grove (GSNM). 36°46′N 118°58′W / 36.767°N 118.967°W / 36.767; -118.967 1900 m. Listed by Rundel and Flint; very small (largely logged); too few trees to qualify as a grove according to Willard.
Kennedy Grove (GSNM). 36°46′0″N 118°49′20″W / 36.76667°N 118.82222°W / 36.76667; -118.82222 2050–2250 m. Contains the 13th largest giant sequoia in the world, The Ishi Giant.

Landslide Grove (GSNM). 36°45′0″N 118°51′50″W / 36.75000°N 118.86389°W / 36.75000; -118.86389 2050–2250 m.
Bearskin Grove (GSNM). 36°45′0″N 118°54′40″W / 36.75000°N 118.91111°W / 36.75000; -118.91111 1850–1900 m.

Giant Sequoia National Monument

On April 15, 2000 President Bill Clinton proclaimed 328,000-acre (1,330 km²) of the Sequoia National Forest as the Giant Sequoia National Monument by Presidential Proclamation 7295, published in the Federal Register, Tuesday, April 25, 2000, Vol. 65, No. 80.

The monument is in two sections. The northern section surrounds General Grant Grove and other parts of Kings Canyon National Park and is administered by the Hume Lake Ranger District. The southern section is directly south of Sequoia National Park and is administered by the Western Divide Ranger District, surrounding the eastern half of the Tule River Indian Reservation.

Marijuana

The forest has been the scene of extensive illegal marijuana cultivation, with recent involvement of Mexican drug cartels.^[7]^[8]
