- Nelder Grove, formerly known as Fresno Grove when it was within a much larger 19th-century Fresno County, is a Giant sequoia grove located in the western Sierra Nevada within the Sierra National Forest, in Madera County, California. The grove is a 1,540-acre (6.2 km2) tract containing 54 mature Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) trees, the largest concentration of giant sequoias in the Sierra National Forest. The grove also contains several points of historical interest. These include pioneer cabins and giant sequoia stumps left by 19th century loggers. Four hundred mature sequoias lived in Nelder Grove before European Americans arrived. Since then, the population has seen several steep declines. Seventy percent of the mature trees were cut during the late 19th century timber era. The population stabilized under federal protection in the 20th century. Yet, many decades of fire exclusion would prove disastrous for the fire dependent ecosystem. In 2017, the Railroad Fire ignited a dense buildup of ladder fuels killing thirty-eight of the ninety-nine remaining giant sequoias. Today, only fifty-four mature specimens remain. (en)
