It's not surprising that there aren't (according to the book) any plants in the redwoods that actually need fire (lightning strikes are rare here and it's so moist). But if plants need people, like the elders say, maybe plants kind of appreciate the fires. Thanks so much for the link. I'll start reading.Gardener of La Manchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16457774843474364872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331616109066354627.post-10294464081385970132007-10-21T22:01:00.000-07:002007-10-21T22:01:00.000-07:00This sounds like an very interesting book.

I don't really think about fire regimes in the redwood forest like I do in chaparral, but I guess everything burns.<BR/><BR/>BTW I found Frank Lake's dissertation <A HREF="http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/dspace/handle/1957/6222" REL="nofollow">here</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331616109066354627.post-5610188802396715372007-10-19T18:44:00.000-07:002007-10-19T18:44:00.000-07:00Thanks Bob,I've requested Tending the Wild at my l...Thanks Bob,<BR/>I've requested Tending the Wild at my local library, and it should be in soon.

You will learn a lot about people and plants ancestral to your area and State.<BR/><BR/>Frank Lake is a USFS scientist and a Karok Indian born and raised in your area. He recently finished his PhD work at Oregon State University regarding plan, fire, and trail use by he Karok and their neighbors in precontact time. I'd highly recommend Frank's dissertation, too.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
