HALSTED.}} THE title above might suggest a forest that has been shot through by the light of day, or some delightful dell where the rays of the sun make every spot enchanting. First-of-a-kind tension wood study broadens biofuels research. Taking a cue from Mother Nature, researchers at the Department of Energy's BioEnergy Science Center have undertaken a first-of-its-kind study of a naturally occurring phenomenon in trees to spur the development of more efficient bioenergy crops.
Tension wood, which forms naturally in hardwood trees in response to bending stress, is known to possess unique features that render it desirable as a bioenergy feedstock. Although individual elements of tension wood have been studied previously, the BESC team is the first to use a comprehensive suite of techniques to systematically characterize tension wood and link the wood's properties to sugar release. Plant sugars, known as cellulose, are fermented into alcohol for use as biofuel. Henry Cowell. Everyone in Santa Cruz knows the Redwood Grove Loop Trail in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park: It’s where you take out-of-town guests for a short, easy Santa Cruz nature walk guaranteed to amaze.

But the Redwood Grove Loop is just the beginning. The more time you spend in Henry Cowell, the more you may come to see it as the home of the best hiking in Santa Cruz County.
