Synopsis (Caution: Spoiler Alert-Jump to Thoughts):
The author takes us through three personalities in the world of redwood tree climbing: Steven Sillett, Michael Taylor and Marie Antoine. Taylor has a knack for finding places where tall trees grow. He lives in Eureka and Arcata. Sillett is a professor at Humboldt State and has refined the way tall trees are climbed. Antoine studies lichens and marries Sillett.

Preston goes through the struggles these people have in finding tall redwoods and then climbing them. He goes into their personalities and backgrounds so we know how they got to the place of climbing trees.
 
The lives they live are not clean, meaning that they have some issues, such as single-mindedness, to the exclusion of the people who love them. They are jealous of revealing too much to too many people-some legit and some it seems like they prefer to work on the edge. Also their techniques are known to a few.

But the results they get-discoveries of what happens up in the canopy of tall trees are note worthy. Taylor and a friend find the three tallest trees in the world at the last.


Cast of Characters:
  • Stephen C. Sillett-Professor at CSU, Humboldt
  • Marie Antoine (Sillett)-tree climber, studied lichens, became Steve Sillettt’s wife
  • Michael Taylor
  • Richard Preston-Author and tree climber
  • Scott Sillett-Steve’s brother, and a more ground-bound version
  • Marwood Harris-friend of Steve Sillett and early climbing partner
  • William C Denison-professor at Oregon State University, Corvallis. An early investigator into what is going on in the tops of trees, mostly firs and pines.
  • Ron Hildebrandt-Post Office worker and devout Christian. Like Taylor, also decided that the tallest tree had yet to be found.
  • Amanda LeBrun-Came from wealthy family. Girl friend, then wife of Steve Sillett. Divorced when Marie Antoine came into the picture.
  • Robert Van Pelt-tree climber, biologest

Expectations:
  • Recommendation: Glen B
  • When: January 12, 2020
  • Date Became Aware of Book: January 13, 2020
  • How come do I want to read this book: When Glen recommended the book, it was more because of the area he lives in which has Sequoia Sempervirians. He said it is about a professor at Humboldt State who goes up into the canopy to see what life is there.
  • What do I think I will get out of it?  I have recently read a book called The Overstory which deals with fictional aspects of what I think this professor studied.


Thoughts:
Why look for the tallest tree? The biggest tree?

Note: The book is dedicated to Douglas Preston, his brother. I read his book, The Lost City of the Monkey God.

It is unclear of Preston goes to tree climbing school on a lark-at least I think it sounds that way-- or on assignment, like writing the article which lead to this book.

Book title comes from that tree never been climbed are called Wild Trees.

Preston does a good job of putting what happens to a particular redwood in the context of human history.

One of the reviewers who read spends a lot of time in the redwoods. While he likes the book. There is a comment which he makes though is that he has not seen Preston around or heard of him climbing tall trees since the book came out. From the book it sounds like this is something he is enthusiastic about. But if what the reviewer is saying is true, then it would seem like Preston is less of an enthusiast and more of a mercenary.


Epigraph
Author’s Note

Of Botanists and Trees
It is the tradition of botanists not to reveal locations of living things unless it is known/published. Preston honors that tradition in this book.


Part 1
Nameless
Steve Sillett, Marwood Harris and Scott Sillett have come across a tall redwood and intends to climb it. Scott stays on the ground. Steve and Marwood climb up an adjacent tree and traverse to the big tree, called Nameless.


There is a limited area where redwood, Sequioia Sempervirians can grow. That is in a temperate rain forest. That would be in Northern California, close to the coast. They grow from a cone, smaller than a ping pong ball. I wonder why they do not grow in similar zones anyplace in the world? Instead there are three different types of redwoods-the sempervirians, the gigantia-in the Sierra, and the Dawn-in China.


As Sillett thought as a teenager, he saw that a forest was not what it seemed to be, but a web of life extending upward and out of sight. In a lot of ways, tops of trees were a mystery to him. He saw the web of branches and wondered about them. His grandmother nurtured a lot of this. Because of this fascination, Sillett understood that in the forest there was a difference in how time is appreciated. To a redwood, a year is like a day to us.

It becomes apparent, that Sillett does not have a rational sense of fear. When he climbs the tree, he is determined to reach the goal of going to the top, even taking flying, untethered leaps across open spaces.

When dropping above fifty feet level, this is the death line. There is a tendency to turn head down.


The Kingdom
The rest of the climb of Nameless. Particularly about what was found in the crown. Also the trek back down the tree and meeting up with wasps.

From his grandmother, Sillett learned about lichens and the function they played in relationships with trees.

Scott Sillett while listening to what it was like climbing the tree thought that he might be losing his brother. There was a sense of restlessness in him. Scott was wondering where would Steve’s story end.


Island in the Lake
Early life of Marie Antoine. A tomboy type female. Climbed rocks and trees. Father was somebody whom she could talk to about the natural stuff she found. Also that her mother very influential. But developed bone cancer while Marie was of a young age.

Preston says that about four years old is when memories could be formed and become permanent. That would be Marie’s mother’s gift to her.


The Start of the Hunt
Preston goes through a history of the habitat of the redwoods.

Interesting comment about the Native Americans burning the forests to keep the redwoods at bay. They wanted to make oaks with their acorns were more abundant. Oaks were a source of food for them.


Unexplored
Michael Taylor’s story and how he started finding tall trees. Taylor’s family is wealthy, but Taylor turned his back on this to pursue what he wanted to do. His father eventually cuts him off. Taylor has an intuitive sense of what is a tall tree.


Rumors of a Lost Continent
Humans are the only primate which does not spend their time in trees. Looks at the early explorers of tops of trees.


The Naming
Sillett starts to learn both what scientific value is in climbing tall trees and how to do it safely. The lichens up in Nameless were common and identifiable, but not know to inhabit redwoods.


Sillett while talking to his professor talked about reasonable risk.


White Pines
More about Marie Antonie.


The Grocery Clerk
Since his funding got cut off, Taylor started to self-fund through various jobs. He eventually started working as a clerk in a grocery store in Eureka. He meets a store shopper and they move in together. He started having dreams of finding the tallest redwood. Tall trees generally grew in remote places which are hard to get to. Taylor has a knack of finding these places. In doing so, he found the Atlas Grove, described as the Sistine Chapel of redwoods.

The discoverer of a big tree has the right to name the tree. Taylor started coming up with some pretty exotic names.

Michael Taylor started getting better equipment to measure the height of trees.


Into the Groves of the Sunday
Taylor asks a US professor how he found the tallest tree-he thought there could be others. The professor said to look in the low, flat places. (It turns out the tallest tree was on the side of a steep slope.) He was also told about a tree of trees called the Three Peas in a Pod.


This is a line which I would not mind having said about me, but without the strangeness of character. Or maybe the two goes together. He was a man who could find beauty in the small hidden places that still existed on earth, the lost places that nobody had ever known.

I like Preston’s terms that in supporting Taylor, his girlfriend was making scientific grants.


The Skywalkers
Sillett starts to refine his tree climbing skills. Acquires a girlfriend who will go up in the trees with him.

To be admitted to friendship with Sillett, you had to climb a tall tree with him.

LeBrun, his girlfriend, noted that Sillett is a commanding presence. But if he feels he does not have control of a situation, he does not do well. But when he saw a superior means of tree climbing, he adopted it.

Marriage is about rope management. You have to take care to avoid knots and snarls in the rope that joins you together. You can’t keep the rope too tightly but you can’t let it get too loose either. Each of you have to give your partner enough slack for freedom of movement, so that you both can reach the top together. William C Denison


Part 2
Headache
Tales of people falling from trees and dying, and not.


Crater
Follow up on the story of a person whom Sillett was climbing with falling a long ways and living, mostly because he did not turn upside down through his own thinking and had his arm break his fall. Also he landed in duff. And survived and went back to climbing trees.


Ninja Ascent
Taylor is looking for the tallest tree still. Comes across a 371’ tree he calls the Humboldt Tree in the middle of the Rockefeller Forest. Sillett gets to know Taylor. This will be the first redwood has climbed since Nameless. The story of NewTribes is told as well-maker of tree climbing equipment. When they climb the tree and measure it, if comes in at 357’ because of the lean.

Does natural things follow Aristotle's thinking that all things tend to move toward their natural state of being? Their full potentials?


Detonation Zone
A team, including Taylor and Sillett are camped in the tree still when a storm comes across them. Other redwoods are swaying and the tree they are in goes circular. A month after their climb and the storm, another storm passed through. This time the tree fell.

Sillett realizes that redwoods fall when they are still alive. Their root systems are intertwined. One tree falling will bring down others.

After the tree fell, Taylor and Sillett go back and inspect the tree. There are rare lichens. Sillett’s thought is that there is a whole world which will die now that the tree has fallen.

Time in the redwoods moves slowly, except when it moves very fast. This is Preston’s comment after the tree fell. Sillett had thought that the tree would out live him by many a year. My thought is that all things mortal will die, including ourselves. Long living trees like redwoods and Sequoias are there to give us a measure of how short our lives are. Even these long living trees are short when compared to that which is immortal. Take into account that even the grander of our times is like dust in the wind. Think about what is immortal.


Part 3
The Threads
Preston goes to tree climbing school.

Tree climbing is an art where you need to be conscious 100% of the time of the need for safety. One instructor says that if you are not, The ground rushes up surprisingly fast.


Whipper
Back to Marie Antoine, Her mother has died. This changes how she grew up. She started climbing until she fell, a whipper. She went to Oregon State University and changed majors from nutrition to biology so she could study lichens.

High places were a lure to her, even though she had had a major fall while rock climbing and had grown afraid of climbing.


Cathedrals in the Rain
Taylor and Silletts form an informal team. Taylor showing Sillett the places he had found tall trees. Sillett gets a professorship at Humboldt State. His classes start taking up most of his time. His marriage is on the rocks. He climbs Atlas. He establishes a two and a half acre study area in which he will look at everything in the area and make a 3-D map. They buy a house in Arcata, then a month later get divorced. In Mednocino, Taylor comes across what is the tallest known tree at 367.5’. The tension at home leads Sillett to do dangerous ascents.

Marie Antoine comes into Sillett’s life. LeBrun sees what is happening. When confronted, Sillett says that it was just physical, nothing more. Can sex ever be just physical?

A tree that has never been climbed is called a Wild Tree.

A detention zone is when a redwood tree has calved-split-and it has fallen down. This leaves an area which has been destroyed, a debris ring.

Spider rope-a combination of ropes and pulleys which allows the climber to moving any direction. It usually is 60’ long.

The marriage dissolves because Steve is pretty much into himself, leaving LeBrun on the sidelines. Sillett kept the impending divorce a secret, not telling anyone, even his brother of the troubles they are having. He felt a need to do penance, shaving his head and eyebrows.


Tears
Taylor gets married. Preston goes through a mini-history of Redwood National Park. There are places in the park which have been clear cut and now is a ramble of brush, hard to get through. Taylor and Sillett started to explore these. LeBrun leaves Sillett. Taylor is the one who is there to comfort Sillett and get him through it, Taylor comments that it seems like the trees are almost like sentient beings.

When Redwood National Park was created, lumber companies did what they could to get the most lumber out of the area before it became a park. In doing so, there are clear cut places.

Taylor observes that Sillett seems like a person who does not respect himself. That is an interesting and deep observation. How can a person who does not respect themselves keep themselves alive.


Part 4
The Lost Valley
Taylor and Sillett continues their search for the tallest tree. Searching parks in the area. They were probably the first Europeans in a particular area as there was no trace of human markings. They find a grove of really big trees. This in the biologist folklore is called the Day of Discovery.

On an exploration to Jedidiah Smith State Park, they decided not to take food or jackets or any other preparations. This was to be a short outing. Turned out to be an all day trip, one which they almost paid dearly for. The usual Boy Scout warning: Be Prepared! Even if you are experienced.

New term: timber cruisers-lumber people who survey and leave marks on trees.

Who or what is Ruthlor or Ruthlor Gulch? This describes its ruthless and unforgiving nature.

In this wander, they find the largest redwood in the world-not tallest or bigger than the General Sherman. This is bigger than the Stout Tree which is said to be the biggest in the park.

Taylor Diet: I realized I was eating a lot. So I stopped eating a lot.


Windigo
More on Marie Antoine. She graduates from Oregon State. She talks about the Wind River Canopy Crane. But that was not answering questions about lichen at the top of the canopy. Sillett told her to go up the tree with ropes-he showed her how. She shows Sillett some mettle by not complaining about an injury to her hand. Her father dies. Her work refined Dennison’s work in that she understood that under different conditions lichen give off different amounts of nitrogen. Taylor started to explore with a guy named Atkins. Atkins started measuring the growth of redwoods and realized that they were growing faster than they ever had. Why? Atkins finds the world’s tallest tree and names it Stratosphere. It comes in at 368’. Sillett and Antoine are doing a dance about their relationship, unsure where it is going. Antoine breaks up with her boyfriend. She and Sillett climb a redwood and have sex in it.

Tall trees have a stratified environment where some things happen at different levels

Windigo-an Ojibwa legend.

Through Antoine’s work, she shows that an old forest does not regrow just because you have trees which appear to be growing large. Example is the lichens may not full recover for another 500-800 years. So the nitrogen will not be restored to the soils until then. Her desire was to have an impact on science.

Antoine is puzzled by the people who surround Sillett. They seem a bit odd and wonders how they come to him. She wonders about herself as well.

How can anybody who is in nature not have read The Lord of the Rings? Antoine had not and had to have names referencing it explained to her.

Antoine is having troubles remembering her mother.

Interesting differences. Sillett gets to the ground and feels released and relaxed. Antoine now feels conflicted.

Antoine questions the nature of love she has for her boyfriend. Also the relationship with Sillett. She felt that even though there was nothing physically romantic between the two, when they were in the trees with ropes that it felt they were in some sort of form making love through their actions. When her boyfriend did not pay attention to her excitement of being in the redwoods, she knew it was time to leave.


Newfound World
Antoine and Sillet start to live together. She starts to go to the next level of tree climbing. They and a team worked on building a model of the Atlas Grove-a large undertaking. One tree called Iluvatars is the most complex living organism known with 220 trunks. The study included all living matter they could find, even with a type of aquatic life at the top of trees. Preston describes the system of the tree’s ecology. He talks about how redwoods reproduce and the animal life found in the trees. Sillett and Antoine marry. They wanted to be married in the trees. Problem finding a person who could do the ceremony.

Redwoods are like snowflakes-no two the same. But with fractals a good model can be made.

That a redwood seems to be growing slowly is merely an illusion of human time.

Red Tree Vole found living in the top of some redwoods-before known only in Douglas firs.

Redwood trees are both male and female. The sperm is held in particles inside of pollen. The seeds are the female part within the cones.


Part 5
The Garbage
Tree climbing with Sillett becomes personal for Preston. Preston had come to Arcata to write a story about Sillett and tree climbers for the New Yorker. No locations were to be printed so that the trees were not to be disturbed.


The Fire Caves of Adventure
Preston will do a climb with Sillitt and Antoine to a tree called Adventure. It has caves where fire has burnt out the inside of it. Preston describes his climb and the feelings of detaching from the main line and going the final distance to the top with his own spider rope.

Preston observes that in order to see a giant tree you need a magnifying glass. This is in particular the lichens and small animal life.

Antoine feels like she has a one-to-one relationship with a tree she is climbing. She feels she can learn the answer to questions about tall trees by doing this. When asked, why is this important, she answers that when the forests are in trouble, we may be able to help. She also feels it is mutual.That as long as we still have these tree, there’s hope for us.


Beyond the Redwoods
Preston teaches his children how to tree climb and one gets certified. The family goes to Scotland and tree climbs there as well. Preston notes that it seems like the upper parts of the trees had certain similarities to those in the redwoods. There is some specialized equipment such as a grappling hook to snag rope and fishing reels to reeling lines. Money is an issue for redwood research. Over 10 years, Sillett has spent less than $500,000. He secures a $780,000 to study tall trees. Preston volunteers to be a tree climber.

Preston notes that even in calm air, trees are in motion.


Skeleton Forest
In Australia to study tall trees there-eucalyptus. This study includes redwoods and douglas firs as well to find out what trees are naturally the tallest.Encounters with leeches.

Web site run by Michael Taylor-I could not find it and he may have stopped using the website..

Sillett: One trick for getting an arrow correctly through a tree is to be extremely stubborn. That could be said about a lot of things.

Leeches seemed to be everywhere (Australia). Sillett notes that there is something sinister about leeches. These leeches do not need to be in water. Sillett makes sure he is leech free before going up in the tree.

One scientist noted that all of the eucalyptus trees in that forest where they are climbing are the same age. They started 60 years before James Cook found the place. Probably started after a fire. You wonder what the current fires will bring 300 years from now.


Journey to Kronos
Kronos had a broken off top which made climbing it dangerous-the top had not fallen yet. But there was damaged scientific equipment still in the tree. Sillett wanted to recover it to restore the tree back to its natural state. A lot of the description of the climb. These tree had meaning for Sillett. He probably would not be able to climb them again since they were starting to rotten out.

Sillett: There’s always a moment during a climb when you lose yourself. You don’t have a name anymore. When you find yourself in a place in nature where if you make a mistake you will die, you become open to what’s around you. You start feeling the limits of your perceptions as a human being. You perceive time more clearly in redwoods and you see time’s illusory qualities.

There is a discussion about is a tree an individual. That can be a source of legalness, such as can a river be an entity. Then it has rights and should be respected.

I am including this long quote because it seems to be the heart of another book called Overstory. It’s [a redwood] a being. It’s a person, from a plant’s point of view. A tree is not conscious, the way we are, but it has a perfect memory. This is because the trunk continually records everything that happens to it as it grows.

Sillett points out that a redwood can be severely damaged and still keep on living and actually grows more beautiful. What does that teach us about living?


Michael Taylor’s Dream
According to Mario D Varden, this chapter was added in after the book had gone to press. Varden also notes that Once the story was written, Preston has not been back, nor has climbed a tall tree.

Taylor had a reoccurring dream of finding the world’s tallest tree. He and Atkins went into “Fog Canyon”-a fictional name and found three of the tallest trees.They named them Hyperion, Helios and Icarus.

Taylor says that he has found the secret of making dreams come true: don’t stop

Who is Pat Grediagin? Chief Ranger in Redwood.


A Note on Tree Climbing
A warning that in order to climb tall trees you need the right equipment, knowledge and practice.


Evaluation:
 The Wild Trees is a book to read to gain understanding of so many things on so many levels. Things like why old forests are close to irreplaceable and why they should be kept, how tall trees are discovered and why the locations are kept secret, and many other things.

Preston’s writing is clear and engaging. As one person said he may hype a story a bit, but what he writes is true. For that matter, it is well worth the read. You will not count the time wasted.

 
Notes from my book group:

When Sillett is talking with his professor at Reed College, he said that he knew what risks he was taking and that the risks were reasonable. Define what is a reasonable risk. In what context is risk reasonable? Do you think Sillett took a reasonable risk in climbing Nameless? Did he have an alternative to climbing Nameless that day?

Why look for the tallest or biggest trees? What drives people like Taylor and Sillett to find these, even at the risk of their own safety? Do all driven people have that singleness of focus? If not how come some of them have it and some do not?

Jim Taylor was worried about his son Michael. Do you think that Jim Taylor had a valid concern? Would you be worried if he was your son? How would you have directed Michael into something which he was interested in and still met your standards? Or should you?

When confronted by his wife about the place Marie Antoine was taking, Steve Sillett responds that it was only physical. What do you think of that answer? Can a deep physical attraction be only physical? What do you think was running through Sillett’s head? Was he true in his thinking or hiding?

Atkins started measuring how much growth was going on in redwood trees. He realized that they were growing faster than normal. How is this explained? Why do you think this was occurring? Statistical anomaly? Climate change? Natural variation of earth cycles?

Many of the people in this book are not professional biologists. How do these amateurs make contributions to the knowledge of the science? Are they normal people? If not, in what ways are they abnormal? If they are normal, in what ways can normal people like us contribute to expanding human knowledge?

Preston makes a comment about Marie Antonie’s mother giving the gift of memory of her to Marie. This was when she was four years old. Later, she had troubles remembering her mother. What is the earliest memory you have?

Preston observes that in order to see a giant tree you need a magnifying glass. How so? What have you learned about the life which goes on on top of, in and around a tall tree?

Sillett talks about that a tree is a being. It’s a ‘person’. This is from a plant’s point of view. He does not think it has consciousness. Is he right? If so, what is the consequence of this?

Sillett points out that a redwood can be severely damaged and still keep on living and actually grows more beautiful. What does that teach us about living?

Many of these questions are either from or adapted from LitLovers.
