Terry Mock loads a tray of redwood clones into his car in Port Orford. The clones are being planted on his property, the 160 Acre Ocean Mountain Ranch.
Mock plants a redwood. Scientists say the clones of large trees won't necessarily be particularly large themselves, nor well-adapted for climate change.
Steve Williams stands next to a planted redwood clone. A forest of 40 to 60 year old Douglas fir was clearcut to make way for the clones.
