Can we plant enough trees to mitigate the effects of climate change? This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Rick Lanman, a physician and historical ecologist, who believes the answer to this question lies specifically in the type of trees we plant - namely, more redwoods. We discuss the truly amazing features of these west-coast natives: They’re fire resistant, rot-proof, and a great carbon sink for greenhouse gas emissions. In our discussion, Lanman outlines what makes these trees such a vital weapon in the fight to clean up our air, and what he is doing to help restore the mighty redwood to its former glory.
