Please join the San Gabriel Chapter Society of American Foresters together with Humboldt Alumni for a reception followed by a screening of National Geographic Channel’s documentary Climbing Redwood Giants. The film is an exploration of redwoods featuring the research of Humboldt State University Professor Steve Sillett, the Kenneth L. Fisher Chair in Redwood Forest Ecology, and chronicles the adventures of world renowned National Geographic explorer Michael Fay.
Sillett and his students changed the way scientists looked at redwood forests when they began climbing the trees and discovering crowns supporting a rich community of life. He studies all aspects of redwood forest canopy ecology, including epiphytes, tree physiology, canopy microclimates and wildlife.
The San Gabriel Chapter SAF is honored to collaborate with the Humboldt Alumni in this social, entertaining and educational event, bringing together professionals, alumni and interested parties to view this groundbreaking film.
