We have fir trees, the forests are tightly packed

Let's hope they leave the firs.

But a few firs don't matter.

And then it bursts into a forest of Redwoods.

Search again in the shrubs and there under the fir.

This a 1923 wooden tugboat, made completely out of Douglas fir.

This is the spruce Gran Picea, which at 9,550 years is a mere babe in the woods.

Steve Sillett, when he was a 19 year old college student at Reed College, had heard that the Redwood forest canopy is considered to be a so called Redwood desert.

But curiously, Redwood rainforests, the fragments that we have left, to this day remain under explored.

I know it belongs to the Dodgers.

Think about this tree, rising upward into Redwood space, 325 feet, 32 stories, an individual living organism articulating its forms upward into space over long periods of time.

The Eastern Hemlock forest is being considered in some ways the last fragments of primeval rainforest east of the Mississippi River.

To us, when we look at a Redwood tree, it seems to be motionless and still, and yet Redwoods are constantly in motion, moving upward into space, articulating themselves and filling Redwood space over Redwood time, over thousands of years.

We have now discovered that there is a multi directional transfer of nutrients between plants, mitigated by the mcyelium so the mycelium is the mother that is giving nutrients from alder and birch trees to hemlocks, cedars and Douglas firs.

The Eastern Hemlock tree has often been described as the Redwood of the East.

Los Angeles.

A Los Angeles.

That tree...!

Los Angeles.

Where's the money?

In recent historic times, about 96 percent of the Coast Redwood forest was cut down, especially in a series of bursts of intense liquidation logging, clear cutting that took place in the 1970s through the early 1990s.

This is the Fortingall Yew no, I'm just kidding this is the Fortingall Yew.

Los Lagos

Los Angeles girl?

Steve Sillett and Marie Antoine are the principal explorers of the Redwood forest canopy. They're world class athletes, and they also are world class forest ecology scientists.

It was called Prototaxites.

Settle in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles.

I like L.A. better.

Do you live in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles, all aboard.

If, Los Angeles, gym Bradey.

Was it yours, Sugiyama?

I like L.A. better.

To take a look at those materials

Born right here in Los Angeles.

How far are you going?

How are things in Los Angeles?

How nice. How's Los Angeles?

I want to place a call to Los Angeles, please.

And back to the yew here.

So L.A. Times got ahold of it.

I've got a cousin out in LA ...
