Nitpick:
> ...some of the world’s oldest and largest coast redwoods, some of which were 3,000 years old...
> a nonprofit working to reestablish ancient redwood forests to help combat climate change. Coastal redwoods, which can grow an average 10 feet per year, sequester 250 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over their lives, compared to 1 ton for an average tree.
Yes, but over <3000 years, so the comparison doesn't tell anything without knowing the lifespan of an "average tree".
Not that it matters though, the achievement is great, and I hope this helps us return many species that went extinct only because they had the misfortune to exist at the same time as humans.
