SUMMARY:Presentation:  Where David Douglas found the largest Pinus trees in the world
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 15\, 7:00 pm\nPresentation:  Where David Douglas found the largest Pinus trees in the world\nPresenter: Erich Reeder\nLocation: In-person presentation at the Siskiyou chapter meeting at Southern Oregon University Science Building\, Room 161. Join us in-person or via Zoom from home.  To register for Zoom\, go to https://bit.ly/npsotalks. \nBased on a detailed analysis of Douglas’ journal entries\, correspondence\, aerial imagery\, and topographic maps\, coupled with a deep familiarity with the region’s geography and native plant species\, Erich Reeder has confidently identified the site where Douglas discovered and measured a remarkable 215-foot tall\, 18.5-foot diameter sugar pine. Douglas himself noted that this tree\, impressive though it was\, was not the largest he encountered during his expeditions. \nErich\, a Rogue Valley native\, developed a deep appreciation for nature from an early age. After graduating from Medford Senior High School\, he studied civil engineering at Oregon State University. He then ventured into the field with a backpack and field guides to explore the flora and fauna of southwestern Oregon and northern California. In recent years\, Erich has worked as a wildlife surveyor for the Bureau of Land Management in the Umpqua Valley\, extensively traveling and hiking throughout the region once traversed by David Douglas nearly 200 years ago.
