The Great Redwoods!

This was a video I watched regarding the Redwood trees.

They are basically researching them to figure out how climate change will affect them.  They set up a weather station on the top of the trees and it monitors the changes in weather.  They put it at the very top of the tree because in a dry season, water for the tree may not be able to make its way up and they're measuring how climate will affect the trees in the future. They also don't use any kind of spikes to climb the trees because they do not want to harm them.  They go more into depth in the video attached but I thought it was fascinating.  It was very interesting and I didn't have much to do on a Saturday night!  :)

There are only about 5% of the Redwood trees left and I for one would love for them to be around so I can go visit them again!  I hope this research helps them figure out how the trees will respond to climate change.
