pdf Redwoods and Climate Change Educator Guide ( pdf ) A resource for using QUEST video and audio in the classroom.

QUEST follows a group of UC Berkeley scientists to the top of a 320-foot redwood in Mendocino County. Only 5 percent of these ancient redwoods survived our voracious desire for their hardy and plentiful wood. Now scientists are trying to predict how the remaining ones and their descendants might fare in the face of climate change in the decades to come.

    I loved your report this morning – but though the climber said they don't use spikes, but climb ropes so as to not damage the tree. You did nto say how they got the ropes up there! I had to watch the video to find out thet use crossbows to loop a rope over a branch, Hope that doesn't hurt the branch!

    I live in Marin, near the bay in Novato and we have a 50 or 60 foot redwood out behind our home – but recent apartment construction has diverted the small stream at its base, and it is slowly dying, A smaller one next to it has already gone. How can we save our own local redwood?

    Thanks,
