In recent years, the forests of the Central Sierra have changed dramatically. Drought, bark beetles and climate change have helped to kill millions of trees across the region, and years of fire suppression have also contributed to an unhealthy ecosystem in many areas.

Mount and Lisa Montiero of the society about the museum and the new project “A Forest Without Trees.”
