Saving Champion Tree Genetics
Jim Robbins, author of The Man Who Planted Trees: Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet, explores David Milarch’s mission to clone America’s largest champion trees, particularly ancient redwoods and giant sequoias. The discussion highlights chemical signaling, underground fungal networks, natural water filtration, and ecosystem services. Assisted migration projects relocate resilient tree genetics to cooler northern regions, helping forests adapt to accelerating climate change. (5)
