A giant sequoia near Freeman Creek

Freeman Creek Grove (also known as Lloyd Meadow Grove) is a grove of giant sequoias located in Giant Sequoia National Monument in the Sierra Nevada in eastern California. The area is a botanical reserve under administration by the Sequoia National Forest, except for one small inholding. The largest unlogged grove outside of a national park, it covers about 1,425 acres (5.77 km²) in the Freeman Creek Watershed, mainly south of Freeman Creek.^[1]

Noteworthy trees

There are several large sequoias in this grove, including:

Great Goshawk Tree: The largest tree in the grove at 32,783 cubic feet (928.3 m³). Named by Bill Croft in 1988, this is the 28th largest giant sequoia in the world.
President George H. W. Bush Tree: This tree was named to commemorate the Presidential Proclamation delivered and signed by President George H. W. Bush to protect, preserve and restore all of the sequoia groves on National Forest System lands throughout the Sierra Nevada. Bush delivered and signed the proclamation while standing beside the tree in 1992.^[2]
Loren's Tree: This is one of the largest trees in the grove, with a volume somewhere between 28,000 and 30,000 cubic feet (850 m³).
Bannister's Tree: A remnant of a once larger tree, but still around 26,000 cubic feet (740 m³).
Castro Tree: A telescope giant sequoia.
