Giant Sequoia Cutting

This slab of a Giant Sequoia was cut from a 2,000 yr old Sequoia toppled by a winter storm in 1979 in Eastern Tulare County. 200 feet in length and 50 feet in circumference, the tree weighed 900,000 lbs. In 1981, LDG Logging Co of Oakhurst purchased the tree from CDF and harvested the lumber in it.

Marker is on State Highway 41 ¼ mile south of Teddy Bear Lane, on the left when traveling north.
