Omschrijving:

Adventures in the Redwoods

Harriet E. Weaver

Published by Chronicle Books Llc 1975, First Printing, softcover, illustrated.

" ... The story of the giant red­wood goes back into antiquity a hundred million years to a time when .. monstrous reptiles dominated all living things."

Thus begins the saga of the giant trees - the Coast redwoods and their mountain cousins, the Sequoia - the living skyscrapers found only in California and a small portion of Oregon.

How have they managed to survive the dinosaur and the Timber Barons? How do they maintain their delicate ecosystem? The answers are as awe-­inspiring as their majestic size, truly justifying their scientific name of sempervirens, or ever-living.

The fascinating story is in these pages, along with a detailed guide to all major redwood groves in both the coastal and Sierra regions.

Written by California' s first woman Park Ranger, part of whose career has been spent in several Redwood Parks, this book will lead travelers and naturalists to Adventures in the Redwoods
