About Big Basin Redwood Forest
Environmental expert and former Director of the Bureau of Land Management, Patrick Shea, teaches Public Lands at Stanford University. “When my students experience the ancient redwoods on a field trip they’re forever etched in memory. Dr. Bliss’s excellent biography of the place, Big Basin, reawakens the beginning, and by explicit challenge, our continuing obligation to protect these extraordinary places for future generations.
“Read Big Basin Redwood Forest–California’s Oldest State Park, become involved in the Reimaging Big Basin process and embrace a more complete dedication like that of these early preservationists.”

“This wonderful slice of western history is more than the story of a cemetery; it tells the adventure of the American frontier. Immigrants from around the world made their journey West and author Traci Bliss weaves their unique stories together giving life to the past that is a treat to read.”
