THREE MEN WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE
—Ranger Mia Monroe
Coastal redwoods—the world’s tallest trees Formal name Sequoia (from the Cherokee chief Sequoyah) sempervirens (Latin meaning “always green”). Age Oldest verified: 2,200 years; average age: 600 to 1,000 years. Height 300 to 350 feet; taller than the Statue of Liberty. Width Circumference of 45 feet and diameter of 15 feet are not uncommon. Habitat A 450-mile coastal strip from southern Oregon to Monterey, California, where winter rain and summer fog reach inland for about 20 miles. Relatives 1) Sequoia giganteum, a more massive but shorter redwood that grows only in the Sierra Nevada. 2) Metasequoia glyptostroboides, a smaller, deciduous redwood found only in remote central China.
The story of how Muir Woods came to be a national monument provides a refreshing change of pace from today’s all-too-common tales of political corruption and greed-driven development. The two main players were boys, born weak and sickly, whose well-off parents sent them into the outdoors to become healthy and strong. Teddy Roosevelt grew up to be a Rough Rider and youngest president of the United States; William Kent grew up to be a successful investor and congressman. Both became ardent hunters and conservationists, which led them to know and admire the work of Scottish immigrant John Muir, the pioneering advocate for preserving wilderness and the first president of the Sierra Club. While other local forests were being cut down in the 19th century for lumber to build San Francisco and Oakland, Mother Nature protected the valley that is now Muir Woods. Muir Beach was inhospitable to ships, and the steep slopes of Mount Tamalpais were a formidable barrier for horses and wagons. In 1903, when these redwoods were threatened, the corporate owners of the land along Redwood Creek approached Kent and offered to sell him the property for $45,000—well below market price—if he would agree to save the trees. When his wife objected, Kent replied, “If we lost all the money we have and saved those trees, it would be worthwhile, wouldn’t it?” But the battle was not over. A few years later, a water company went to court in an effort to build a dam and reservoir in the valley. Fortunately, Congress had just passed a law enabling the president to accept gifts of significant lands. Kent got in touch with Gifford Pinchot, first chief of the U.S. Forest Service, who persuaded Roosevelt to accept Kent’s offer of the land. In 1908, Roosevelt proclaimed the woods a national monument, as Kent had wished. The president then wrote Kent a letter proposing that he, the donor, be the new park’s namesake. But Kent declined, replying, “Your kind suggestion of a change of name is one that I cannot accept. So many millions of better people have died forgotten…I have five good, husky boys…If these boys cannot keep the name of Kent alive, I am willing it should be forgotten.” The famed naturalist John Muir sent Kent a thank-you letter. “This is the best tree-lover’s monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world,” he wrote. “You have done me great honor, and I am proud of it…Saving these woods from the axe and saw, from money-changers and water-changers… is in many ways the most notable service to God and man I’ve heard of since my forest wanderings began.” The redwoods are not the only giants to appreciate when we visit Muir Woods. —E.P.

Tips for MariniTes
1
Come early or late to avoid crowds. The park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset. Midweek is better than weekends. At twilight you may hear the night creatures waking up: foxes, owls, bats.
2
Follow nature’s cycle. The park offers full-moon programs and solstice celebrations. The months from November to May are the time to see salmon spawning, wildflowers, and the park’s famous fungus (mushroom) displays. It’s also a good time for bird-watching: winter wrens, pileated woodpeckers, spotted owls.
3
Be a volunteer. Work in the native plant nursery, on behind-the-scenes projects pulling weeds, on the website, or as a greeter or a docent. Volunteers also monitor fish and spotted owls and take part in a pilot program evaluating the park’s natural soundscape. Budget cuts have increased reliance on volunteers.
4
Be forewarned. Muir Woods touches all who visit. Souls open. People begin grieving, they become introspective and start journals, they propose marriage, babies take their first steps. Ranger Mia Monroe calls it the “village commons” effect. More details at the Muir Woods website: www.nps.gov/muwo

Developed by Hawaiian cowboys in the early 1830s, slack key guitar is unique to the Islands but deserves a worldwide following. “Slack key” means that some of the strings are slacked from the standard tuning, with the thumb playing the bass notes while other fingers play melody and improvisations. Produced by George Winston.
