Safe Travels

In our second episode from Redwood National & State Parks we sat down with the Burn Boss and Forest Ecologist, Lathrop Leonard. Lathrop has been studying and restoring the redwood forest for nearly 20 years, his passion and love for these trees shone through in this episode as we chatted about the biology and ecology of the redwood tree. 

Additionally, we also talked about prescribed fire and how this burning methods can help promote a healthy ecosystem. 

I hope you enjoy this episode! I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with Lathrop and am very thankful for his work in the beautiful coastal redwood ecosystem.
