dc.description.abstract | In the recent past we have seen a
rapid decline in the presence of old growth
Redwood groves, particularly
Coast Redwoods groves in northern
California and southern Oregon. For
various reasons, we have been losing
these very valuable ecosystems and
iconic stands of trees at an alarming
rate. There are multiple organizations
and programs that are trying to help
these trees, but a lot still needs to
be done. Especially, when it comes
to public perception, understanding,
and our willingness to help save the
Redwoods.
Through various research
methodologies including the use of
historical documents and accounts,
interviews with related professionals,
case study examinations, and more,
many different topics were explored
in depth. All helping to inform and
improve the ideas imagined.
Improving the visitors experience
in these ancient Coast Redwood
groves could be very beneficial to
ongoing conservation efforts. These
experiences could be welcoming to
visitors, full of educational information,
and inspire people to connect with
these Redwoods at a deeper level.
These experiences could also include
access to some relevant research data
and important forestry work as a part
of the educational resources. | en_US |
