Conifer Extravaganza!

10/1/2015

0 Comments

 
I recently had the opportunity to attend the annual National Meeting of the Conifer Society.  It is not often I get to be surrounded by such a large group of people as equally passionate about trees as I am!  There were people from around the world at the conference, as well as a near complete collection of California conifer specimens.

​Highlights include a talk by Stephen Sillett, a researcher from Humboldt State who studies old growth redwood canopy ecosystems, and tours of Quaryhill Botanical Garden, Circle Oak Ranch, San Francisco Botanic Garden, and Hog Hill.  

The San Francisco Botanic Garden created an interactive map of the conifers housed at their site specifically for our group.  It is a very thorough and interesting project and definitely worth checking out.  They also developed an app for smartphones to find their conifers.  The collection there is expansive and includes one of the few known albino redwoods.  Definitely worth checking out!  See their website to explore the map and download the app:
