A journey into the heart of America’s most iconic forests, GIANTS RISING reveals the secrets and the saga of the coastal redwoods, the tallest--and among the oldest--living beings on Earth. Living links to the past, redwoods also hold powers that may play a role in our future, including their ability to withstand fire and capture carbon. Through the voices of biologists, artists, and Native experts racing to understand and safeguard these trees, GIANTS RISING showcases the scientific wonders of redwoods, our cultural ties to them, and efforts to help these iconic forests overcome the legacy of logging.
