2024 Redwoods Climbing Expedition

In October, I achieved a boyhood dream of climbing into the canopy of an old growth Redwood tree. I used to climb 50 ft into this old post oak tree in my backyard as a kid...and dream of going even higher into a Redwood. It was a long road to make this happen...more people have climbed Everest than have climbed into the canopy of an old growth Redwood. It is extremely hard to get access for all sorts of reasons. After years of research and failed attempts to get this project off the ground, I finally found a privately owned grove of old growth redwoods that were protected by a conservation group called the Sempervirens Fund. I pitched the project and we worked together to make it happen! We will be sharing 3 mini-documentaries about the recording adventures in the next few months. This first episode focuses on recording on the forest floor in March 2024. Episode 2-3 will be about climbing into the canopy in October!
