California 'Big Trees' Focus of Campus Colloquium Penn State
DuBois Associate Professor of Biology, Emeritus, Hank Webster
recently came back to campus to make an informative presentation
on some of the biggest trees on earth, the Giant Sequoia and
Coast Redwoods of California. Webster and his wife, Marianne,

he gained about these impressive species to construct a
