The deeper you venture into a redwood forest, the more your imagination runs wild. Like silent giants, the towering trees usher you into a fairytale realm. The tallest and some of the oldest living beings on Earth, coast redwoods are living links to the past. But these trees also hold superpowers that may play a key role in our future – including their ability to withstand fire and capture carbon, to offer clues about resilience and longevity, and even enhance our physical and emotional well-being. How do they do it? And more importantly, how can we ensure that redwoods will keep working their magic as they continue to be pushed to their limits? Through the stories of those on the frontlines of efforts to understand and safeguard redwoods, GIANTS RISING reveals the mysterious inner-workings of the trees’ many superpowers – celebrating the wonders of these forests and underscoring all that’s at stake.
