Why OGSP Recommends It
This book was commissioned by the Save the Redwoods League in honor of 100 years of Redwood conservation. Five writers gave their unique perspective on these rare and precious trees. The book shares what we have know about this unique species and how much we still have to learn. As Meg Lowman wrote, more people have climbed Mount Everest than have ascended into a redwood tree canopy.
