Check out the amazing story of real-life redwood climbers! I went to a screening of Climbing Redwood Giants and it's fabulous -- it covers both Steve Sillett's tree canopy research and Mike Fay's journey along the entire length of the redwood forest. And check out the October 2009 issue of National Geographic, starring the COASTAL REDWOODS! Great resource for families and teachers!
