One of my mentors, renowned tree biologist Dr. Andrew Hirons, once said to me, “Don’t tell me how many trees you planted today, tell me how many will still be there in 50 years.” His advice, in part, ignited my fascination for the preservation of old trees. I am unable to pass by a mammoth of a trunk without stopping to beam, or walk by an enormous crown without admiring its far-reaching branches. My favourite trees are those you can’t wrap your arms around all the way.
