Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Dear Save the Redwoods League Friends,
For millennia, redwoods have adapted to changing climates, surviving ice ages
and times of warming alike. Once dominant across the northern hemisphere,
today these ancient beings are confined to small fragments of their former range,
protected in fragile parks and reserves.
Since 1918, our members have protected these giants from the saw. Now we
must help them survive an unprecedented time of rapid climate change. In
return, redwoods help us by storing great quantities of carbon dioxide, thereby
helping to reduce the effects of global warming.
To better understand redwoods’ ability to store carbon, and to protect them for
current and future generations, we are launching the Redwoods and Climate
Change Initiative. Philanthropist Ken Fisher is generously matching gifts made
to this project. You may read about this pioneering Initiative on page 4, and
meet Ken on page 9.
Meanwhile, thanks to our members, we continue to protect redwood forestland
and connecting landscapes. Learn about our latest successes on pages 10 and 11.
On another front, we have launched an additional effort to protect redwoods
in California State Parks. Please voice your support of the measure slated
for the November ballot to create a stable, adequate fund for the chronically
underfunded parks — visit SaveTheRedwoods.org/voice, or call (818) 760 - 2121.
You may support this effort even if you live outside of California.
As they have in the past, the redwoods face challenges, but none that we cannot
help them meet with your support.

A new Save the Redwoods League Initiative will help
us understand how we can protect redwoods from
rapid climate change and how these giants can help
protect us.
Protection
An Urgent Quest for Discovery
5. SaveTheRedwoods.org 5
The enigmatic redwoods
have captured the curiosity
of four elite scientists, driving
some to study them for
decades on their own or as
intermittent collaborators.
Now, these scientists are
working together to continue
the 92 years of work by
Save the Redwoods League
to protect these great trees.
But this time, the scientists
and the League are racing
to reduce a new threat to
redwoods unlike any in the
trees’ millions of years of
existence — rapid, human-
induced climate change.
The convergence of
unprecedented rates of
global warming with other
disturbances paints an
unsettling picture for
the future of the redwood
forest. New, comprehensive,
integrated research is
needed to find solutions
to climate change-related
threats such as shifts in
rainfall, snow and fog;
higher temperatures; air
pollution; the frequency
and intensity of fire; plant
and animal migration; and
the introduction of invasive
species.
“Although much discussion
has occurred about policies
regarding climate change,
little research on redwoods
and climate change actually
exists,” said Todd Dawson,
PhD, one of the Initiative’s
scientists. Dawson is
Professor and Director
of the Center for Stable
Isotope Biogeochemistry at
the University of California,
Berkeley.
“The environmental changes
these trees are facing are
outside their realm of
experience,” Dawson said.
“We simply must accelerate
the rate of learning so we
can give these giant trees the
best chance of survival.”
To meet the pressing need for
research on how redwoods
can survive sweeping
Professor Stephen C. Sillett, PhD,
studies the redwood canopy. He
is among four scientists researching
in the League’s Initiative to help
redwoods survive rapid climate change.
6. 6 Save the Redwoods League | Winter Bulletin | 2010
environmental changes,
the League and redwoods
scientists from UC Berkeley
and Humboldt State
University have launched
the multiyear Redwoods and
Climate Change Initiative.
The team’s goal is to create
a comprehensive climate
adaptation strategy for the
redwoods. Their findings will
help focus League efforts
on where to protect and
restore redwood forestland
according to climate change
forecasts.
Dawson has already
completed six studies at
least partly funded by the
League, exploring everything
from how redwoods absorb
and store carbon, to his
2008–9 project with Anthony
Ambrose, PhD, another
Initiative scientist and UC
Berkeley colleague. The
two — with collaborators
Steve Sillett and George
Koch — studied the inner
workings of three giant
sequoias near Kings Canyon
National Park, where rising
temperatures are melting
the snow pack earlier in the
year, leaving less water for
vegetation in the summer.
Like other Initiative scientists,
Dawson’s connection to the
redwoods is personal. His
family took him to see the
redwoods as a child. Dawson
was dazzled, even then:
“When you are little, you
look up and you just can’t
believe how big those trees
are.” Now he’s scaling the
same heights to find answers
for science, policymakers
and the public. “We’ve got
to get the word out — to help
keep these forests alive for
our grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. That’s what
this is all about.”
A Comprehensive Study
The key to the success of
the Redwoods and Climate
Change Initiative lies in
its fully integrated and
comprehensive nature,
utilizing field-based research
of redwood plots combined
with greenhouse experiments
on young redwoods. During
the first three years, Initiative
team members will install
and monitor 13 research
plots that span the ranges
of the coast redwood and
giant sequoia.
In each plot, tree and forest
structure will be mapped,
and growth patterns and
physiological responses to
environmental changes will
be studied, along with leaf
and wood traits that influence
redwoods’ response to
their environment. During
these landscape studies,
the scientists will monitor
Get Involved
We can create a world where our children and theirs can walk among giant redwoods. Ken Fisher,
Co-Chair of the Redwoods and Climate Change Initiative, made a generous offer to match every gift

the heights of the tallest
living coast redwoods (350
feet and higher), because
treetops may be most
responsive to environmental
change.
Another Initiative scientist
is Professor Stephen C.
Sillett, PhD, the Kenneth
L. Fisher Chair in Redwood
Forest Ecology and a founding
member of the new Institute
for Redwood Ecology at
Humboldt State University
(HSU). The recipient of five
previous League research
grants, Sillett, with his
students, changed the way
science looked at redwood
forests when they began
climbing the trees and
discovering crowns supporting
a rich community of life.
These tree crowns have long
held Sillett’s attention. At
age 19, the athletic Sillett
climbed 300 feet to the top
of his first redwood in Prairie
Creek Redwoods State Park.
His desire to determine
how redwoods function over
millennia fuels his interest in
these massive organisms.
As part of the Initiative, Sillett
aims to better understand
how fast redwood trees grow,
approach maximum size and
achieve the high degree of
structural complexity that
promotes biological diversity
in the forest canopy. More
research is needed to
quantify redwoods’ ability to
produce massive quantities
of decay-resistant wood
and to assess the species’
potential to mitigate climate
change. Ultimately, research
findings will help improve
management of redwood
forests to sequester carbon
and sustainably provide
wood products, wildlife
habitat, clean water and
forests for people to enjoy.
The Initiative will help us
understand how we can
protect redwoods from
climate change and how
they can help protect us.
Sillett’s HSU colleague,
Adjunct Professor Robert
Van Pelt, PhD, also is focusing
his work on the Initiative.
“I’m very excited about the
new Institute for Redwood
Ecology and the Redwoods
and Climate Change Initiative,”
Van Pelt said. “My work with
Professor Sillett began in the
mid-1990s, when we realized
8. 8 Save the Redwoods League | Winter Bulletin | 2010

we had a common interest
in how structural complexity
develops in old trees and
forests. Since then, we
have expanded our research
to include many other
collaborators and have
made great strides in
understanding above-
ground, whole-tree growth
and physiology.”
Van Pelt authored four books
on giant trees and old-
growth forests, along with
a multiyear study on old-
growth forests in the state of
Washington that dramatically
changed the conservation of
forests at the state level.
Seeing Climate Change
Possibilities
The Initiative also integrates
the work of scientist Healy
Hamilton, PhD, Director of
the Center for Biodiversity
Research at the California
Academy of Sciences. Field-
based data from the Initiative
will help inform her climate-
change models predicting
where redwoods will grow in
“optimistic” and “pessimistic”
climate-change scenarios.
“We know that species
are already responding
to the relatively small
amount of climate change
we’ve experienced so far,”
Hamilton said,“so there is
no doubt that species are
on the move. The question
is, ‘… where will they be in
50 or 100 years, and how
can we help them adapt?’”
Possible ways the Initiative
findings could help redwoods
adapt include informing a
strategy to protect cooler
habitats so the trees will
have a place to grow if their
current range becomes too
warm. The findings also
will help guide economic
incentives for sustainable
logging practices. One such
practice is saving larger
trees because they store
the most carbon. Another
expected solution is more
sophisticated water and
buffer management in the
forecasted redwood range,
in partnership with redwood
landowners.
These insights promise to
provide an approach and
proven techniques that
can be used to save other
forested areas worldwide so
that future generations can
experience the wonder of
giant trees.

12. 12 Save the Redwoods League | Winter Bulletin | 2010
Save the Redwoods League plans to award by March 2010
the following research grants totaling more than $92,000.
These grants advance general understanding of redwoods,
their environments and their related communities of
organisms. This research will help determine what the
trees need to thrive and how damaged forests may be
restored. Thanks to our members, the League’s research
grants program has provided these annual grants to a
variety of scientists since 1997.

Help the Redwoods, Get a Tax Break
You and the redwoods can benefit from a charitable gift annuity — you receive income that has some tax
advantages, and the redwoods receive the principal balance upon your passing. Contact Sharon Rabichow
at (888) 836 - 0005 or srabichow@SaveTheRedwoods.org.
Support Redwoods with Your Will, Retirement Account or Life Insurance Policy
It’s easy to leave assets in your will or trust to support the redwoods. Did you know there are even easier
ways to accomplish this through your retirement account or life insurance policy? Contact Sharon Rabichow
at (888) 836 - 0005 or srabichow@SaveTheRedwoods.org for information on how to name the League as a
