NEW STUDY ON REDWOODS 07-01-10 21:30 a.v.

A new study, aimed at researching the effects global warming has on the largest trees in the world, is currently underway.  The 2.5 million dollar project, funded by “Save the Redwoods League”, is sending experts into California’s Redwoods and giant Sequoias to measure the tree’s girth, bark and even numbers of cones they have.   The study’s locations include Big Basin in Santa Cruz County and Sequoia National Park in the Central Sierra Nevada.  Researchers plan to return every 3-years to take new measurements, along with installing sensors on the trees to measure fog temperature.
