Скачать или смотреть Year of the Cone

In South Central Oregon, where forests have been redefined by years of repeat, severe wildfire, trained forestry technicians are working swiftly to survey the landscape for the cones crucial to restoring nearly 230,000 acres in the region.

By monitoring the cones as they develop, the technicians are helping public and private forest owners prepare for the crucial moment in the late summer when tree climbers and cone collectors will be dispatched to collect the thousands of cones during the narrow few weeks they have reached optimal ripeness. Seeds are central to the region's coordinated reforestation efforts -- and this is about to be a cone year the crew will never forget.
