On California's Gold with Huell Howser, on a visit to Sturgeon's Mill -- circa 1913 steam operated mill in !!!!!Sebastopol !!!! where they demonstrated the outrageously scary operation of moving these huge redwood logs for fabrication into wonderful redwood lumber ..

they mentioned that the redwood logs they were working on (filmed in 2010) came from the freeway widening project near Rohnert Park !!!! So, the trees went to "good use."

Here is a link to the Sturgeon's Mill site: https://www.sturgeonsmill.com/news.html

also google Huell Howser - California's Gold. I saw the program last night on Comcast channel 17, a PBS station in the Bay Area
