Matt speaks with Sarah Barth and Laura McClendon from Sempervirens, an organization dedicated to protecting redwood forests in California. They discuss the Redwoods’ role in sequestering carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change mitigation. Controlled burns and indigenous collaboration also play a crucial role in maintaining forest health and reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and changes in fog patterns are affecting redwood forests, leading to signs of stress and slower growth. Younger Redwood trees are particularly vulnerable in the hotter, drier environment. Learn how you can get involved TO SAVE THE REDWOODS!
