Soon rangers were finding a warren of “social trails” - bushwhacked by tree seekers - in the area.
Even now, the most recent park brochures say nothing about the Grove of Titans.Ībout 11 years ago, someone posted the grove’s GPS coordinates. “We would basically pretend like it didn’t exist,” Gates said. Rangers kept the secret too, thinking of the redwoods’ shallow, vulnerable roots and the grove’s “understory” foliage. When author Richard Preston described the men’s discovery in his widely acclaimed book “The Wild Trees” in 2007, he didn’t disclose the grove’s specific location for fear of the damage that might follow.
