National Geographic Fall Photography Events
Redwoods Transect
An inhabitant of California’s redwood forest Photograph by Michael Nichols
In the fall of 2007, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Mike Fay set off on an 11-month walking journey across California’s redwood forest to determine the condition of this legendary range of trees—and to see whether there is hope for a new kind of forestry that benefits the planet as well as increasing timber production. As reported in the October issue of National Geographic, and in a new Nat Geo Channel film, Fay’s expedition uncovered evidence of the big trees’ resilience, and found a hopeful new spirit of cooperation among environmentalists, loggers, and others whose livelihoods depend on the forest. Following the screening, Fay will be joined by photographer Michael Nichols, writer Joel Bourne, and Redwood Forest Foundation executive director Art Harwood to discuss conservation and resource management.
