We've arrived at beautiful Redwood National & State Parks in Northern California! In episode one from the redwoods, we are joined by Redwood National Park Ranger Patrick Taylor and California State Parks Interpretive Ranger Karla Jovel.
In this episode, we explore a high-level overview of the redwood trees, popular areas of the park, wildlife and feature a general overview of the history and goals of Redwood National and State Parks.
In our next few episodes from this incredible place, we will dive deep into the biology of the redwood tree with a forest ecologist, then we'll sit down with the parks' superintendent to learn about the ongoing restoration efforts, and finally we will meet with the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation to learn about the cultural significance of the redwood tree.
