Galician Redwood Forest Celebrates 30 Years of Growth

Thirty Years of Sequoias: A Galician Forest's Remarkable Story Poio, Galicia, Spain – A remarkable environmental project celebrated its 30th anniversary this week. In 1995, a unique redwood forest was planted in the hills of Poio, thanks to the vision of Professor Harmon and the collaborative efforts of American and Galician students. This week, G24 Noticias revisited the site, capturing the impressive growth of the trees and interviewing Professor Harmon. "Galicia reminds me a lot of California," Professor Harmon shared, reflecting on the success of the project. He explained how he contacted the Galician government with a proposal, which, after several years, was approved. The video shows the commemorative plaque, erected to mark this unique collaboration. The project involved planting 500 redwood trees. The video shows the professor and a group of students planting the trees back in 1992, highlighting the international cooperation involved. The forest stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and environmental stewardship, a symbol of friendship between two nations and a beautiful addition to the Galician landscape.
