National Geographic: Redwoods
Today's site, from National Geographic's online content, offers a splendid
presentation on the majestic redwood trees to found along the southern Pacific
coast of the continent. Gentle Subscribers will discover a fascinating exhibit
devoted to these magnificent trees.
"They can grow to be the tallest trees on Earth. They can produce lumber,
support
jobs, safeguard clear waters, and provide refuge for countless forest species.
If
we let them." - from the website
The exhibit contains a stirring essay, "The Super Trees", documenting some of
the
singular characteristics of the species and a history of man's interaction with
them. Additional features of the presentation include a video of a photographer
attempting to capture a complete redwood tree in a composite photo, and an
online
jigsaw puzzle of a 300-foot California redwood. It wouldn't be a National
Geographic exhibit without a photo gallery of dramatic images, while the
interactive "Living Giants" section provides visual information about the
redwoods'
range, an amazing timeline, and the informative "Forest in the Air".
