Redwood Tree

The Redwood Network In the towering redwood tree lived four friends,Todo the squirrel, Jullien the owl, Kim the koala, and the infamous bee named Pete. The four just graduated from redwood high school and were now ready to start their lives. Todo and Jullien planned on going to work with Jullien's dad at the leaf transportation company. Meanwhile Kim and Pete got accepted to Maple University starting in the fall. The four of them promised each other they would spend the whole summer making memories and would continue to keep in touch even after Pete and Kim moved to the maple tree to start college. The four friends all received brand new iphones as their graduation gift from their parents. “Lets all get a facebook so we can communicate when we're not together!” The friday after graduation Jullien forced all his friends to…

The Redwood National and State Parks are temperate rainforests located along the coast of Northern Carolina, USA. The RNSP contain 133,000 acres and is located entirely within Del Norte and Humboldt Counties. The park consists of 4 different parks; Redwood National Park, California's Del Norte Coast, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks. The four parks protect 45% of the remaining redwood trees. The redwood trees are the tallest and the most massive trees in the world. The…

According to the dictionary an environmentalist is defined as “a person who is concerned with or advocates the protection of the environment.” There are dozens of great environmentalists that have changed the world today. One that stuck out in particular was Julia Hill. Julia Hill was a woman who at the age of 22 affected the Redwood forest in a spectacular way. Julia was born in Mount Vernon, Missouri on February 18th, 1974. She spent the first ten years of her life playing outside of her…

block access to their solar panels with shading or not. In the Solar Panels vs Trees case, the tree blocking the solar panels from the direct sunlight. Mr. Treanor and Mr. Vargas both are environmentally friendly. “ In terms of loving the environment, it seems that neither one can top the other”. Once it comes down to the decision of cutting the trees for the solar panels to absorb the sunlight, Mr. Vargas seems to have the upper hand in this situation. Regarding the Solar Panels vs Trees case,…

Green enveloped me as a continued down the trail in the middle of the Redwood Forest. The ferns continued to draw ever closer as I went down a unused trail. As I surveyed my surroundings, I felt ever smaller as the monstrous trees loomed above me. The sun was barley shining because of all of the dense fog, which was just above the tree tops. What sun did come through made the light seem almost as if you were in a dream. As I continued down the path, the smell the salty air of the ocean permeated…

Once upon a time, there was a population of Ents (tree beasts) that inhabited trees. They could move through trees, and would protect a forest at any cost. They were huge, about the size of a large oak, and took on the form of whatever tree they were currently inhabiting. As soon as a Ent moved into a tree, the tree could move as the Ent it. Therefore, if there was a nearby forest, an attack from Ents was almost impossible to defend from, even if there were two or three Ents. Ents came in…

The main objective of this study was to determine whether the rate of cavitation in xylem channels correlates with tree height by measuring the water tension from leaves at the top against leaves from the bottom of Acer Platanoides (Norway Maple) trees. We hypothesized that water tension would be higher at the top of trees than at the bottom. The secondary focus was to determine if varying water tension would affect the structural composition of leaves. In order to identify a relationship, we…

Adults aren 't the only ones who are affected by poverty. Children are affected in ways that aren 't seen by everyone. Every day a child goes to school they have to live with the fact that their family is struggling. Children are smarter than what adults think and they know when they are different than the majority of their classmates. From the clothes they wear to the food they eat, children know. Most children who have lived in poverty their whole life know no different, the ones who came from…

When thinking of a tree, it is easy to imagine a strong plant, established firmly into the soil, with a thick substantial trunk and vast outreaching branches. However, what does not typically come to mind is a scrawny seedling, with its new roots hardly ingrained into the soil. One with a toothpick of a trunk that is struggling to support itself. The fact of the matter is that every tremendous tree started as a measly sapling, but not every sapling is able to grow into a tree. The forest can be…

One fall day, on a cool, crisp morning it was quiet enough to hear an acorn fall from the trees, making a soft plunk plunk sound on a nearby leaf. My family and I journeyed out into the deep muddy woods that was sparkling from the way the sun was hitting the fresh dew. The sun was reflecting off our Ranger just right to make it look a sparkly, vibrant shade of red. We were driving on bumpy, muddy trails to check the trail cameras, which were hanging on the trees with a strap and a bright…
