Medford, Oregon — In the heart of Southern Oregon's Fremont-Winema National Forest, crews are going to new heights to harvest a precious commodity.
"We're looking for the ripe cones on the top of the tree," said Brian Kittler, chief program officer for the Resilient Forests program at the nonprofit conservation group American Forests.
Using lift operators and climbers, Kittler and his team showed CBS News how his team hunts for pine cones.
