Walking with the Giant Trees with Terry Mock
Join O.N.E. and Terry Mock of Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, as he shares his story of taking action for the world’s most important old growth trees.
Terry has worked with for decades with David Milarch, as they’ve been working to clone the champion trees of the world — the largest, the hardiest, the ones that have survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change — and create a living library of trees. Although scientists at the time were skeptical, twenty years later, they have successfully cloned some of the world’s oldest trees — among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah.
