Funded by a new grant from Save the Redwoods League, and with field support from Steve Sillett and Marie Antoine of Cal Poly Humboldt, Andrew and George Koch spent a week near Carmel Valley, CA, setting up instruments, data loggers, and wireless communications hardware in the tops of six magnificent Sequoia sempervirens trees. The project studies relationships between the presence of fog and wood growth.
The first photo shows Steve, George, and Marie in the redwood grove, and the second shows Marie installing a solar panel at the top of “Tree 5.”
