Redwood Trees

The following essays are transcripts of talks given in Humboldt County in 1965 by professors of the U.C. Berkeley School of Forestry. They were duplicated on mimeographed paper, and filed in the U.C. Berkeley Forestry Library. In the interest of preserving them, they were OCRed, and converted into WWW documents.
