TEDxJacksonHole - David Milarch - Ancient Trees For The Future

David Milarch is co-founder of the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive and a pioneer in the cloning of trees. He works to preserve the genetic heritage of the world's last old growth forest giants. A fourth generation nurseryman from Michigan, he and his sons have propagated more than 90 species, including the tallest redwoods.

Talk: David Milarch, co-founder of Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, tells the story of the work of cloning ancient tress and explores the relationship we have lost between our planet, the climate and the forests, as well as what is left that can be utilized in a new approach. http://www.ancienttreearchive.org

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I, too, was employed to sound the alarm about our self-demise in the loss of the biosphere on earth... This is so exciting to find David Milarch - I didn't know he existed until finding the PRX interview with the author of a book about him.

Excellent presentation on THE MOST important subject. This should be shown to every Govt official, every Banker, every local authority employee especially decision makers. In Ellesmere, Shropshire, England, where I live, we have just had yet another veteran Oak vandalised for housing development by a very precious water source and this by the land owner, a County Councillor who is on the Central Planning Committee which makes yes/no decisions on planning.
