The world used to be filled with giant trees. Now we're left with tiny remnant. the last of the giant forests. The redwoods and giant sequoia are the most substantial but there are pockets of giant forests still existing in diverse places. These giant trees are spoken of in mythology and were revered as sacred. Unfortunately they are all but gone and even the largest tree in the world, the Hyperion, is forbidden by authorities to access and is punishable by a $5,000 fine and jail time.
