Except redwoods once covered the coastline for thousands of millennia before the 21st century.
(not firematch Australian Eucalyptus.)
Tall conifers blocking the sea wind. Making the fog drop there. The bark heavy with fireproof tanins. Their roots grow deep to prevent mudslides and flooding. They soak up water and create a massive impenetrable heat sink range beneath the surface which no fire can ignite anywhere. A balance between earth and air.
But those California redwoods are nearly gone.
And so mankind attempts to re-create all the benefits of lost nature and weeps in the meantime.
