This week, I celebrated 10 years of coast redwood forest research and had the pleasure of climbing into an old redwood at the Grove of Old Trees in Sonoma County. This little-known forest is where I learned to climb in 2004 and where I still work today to track the response of sword fern to drought.

Head to the Grove of Old Trees yourself this weekend and get information to plan your visit here.
