The discussion will be followed by a Q&A. \nGreg will talk about the history of California redwoods\, and their discovery and exploitation\, as told by an activist who fought to protect their existence against those determined to cut them down. Every year\, millions of tourists from around the world visit California’s famous redwoods. Yet few who strain their necks to glimpse the tops of the world’s tallest trees understand how unlikely it is that these last isolated groves of giant trees still stand at all. In this gripping historical memoir\, journalist and famed redwood activist Greg King examines how investors and a growing U.S. economy drove the timber industry to cut down all but 4 percent of the original two-million-acre redwood ecosystem. \n  \nClick here to find out more about this event and how to register.
