This is a concise book that describes, in layman's terms, the unique characteristics of California's coast redwoods. These forests are some of the most misunderstood, yet most visited forests on earth, and this publication (48-pages) is designed to unravel some of the redwood's incredible features. Included are essays about their range, past and present, the redwood's way of dominating their landscape, controlling water use and how many plants and animals have joined their forest to become part of this unique ecosystem. This is THE basic redwood fact source.
This is also a personal story for the author, explaining both the scientific qualities of coast redwoods and the emotional values the author feels for these forests. For 30 years Eifert has expressed feelings for these trees through writing, paintings and photographs.
Travel the Redwood Highway, from Santa Cruz to Oregon and you'll find Eifert's work in over 20 redwood parks. It's difficult to miss!
