East Bay Redwoods: Nearby and full of history!

http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2013/06/07/east-bay-redwoods-symposium-a-look-back-at-history/ Visible on the crest of the Oakland Hills, the East Bay redwoods provide a respite from city life.  The cool shade and tranquil trails also harbor a fascinating history that you can read in the stumps and "fairy rings" - ghosts of a forest that stretched back thousands of years.  For more about the history and future of our local redwoods, check out my KQED Science blog for this last week.
