Don, Believe me, I have PURELY preservationist intentions. Unless you're concerned about the combined effects of a class of students tramping through the woods. There will only be about 12 of us in all. If Big Basin is your traditional old-growth, we shouldn't have a problem walking through it without trampling anything. To preserve what matters, we must teach people to experience it, yet do so with care. This would be my way of showing 11 others how incredible and fragile old-growth is.
I was looking for more detailed directions. I do have Kershner's Sierra Club Guide to Ancient Forests of the Northeast as back-up directions, just in case!
