The Man Who Planted Trees is the inspiring story of David Milarchs quest to clone the biggest trees on the planet in order to save our forests and ecosystemas well as a hopeful lesson about how each of us has the ability to make a difference.When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. The second best time? Today.Chinese proverb Twenty years ago, David Milarch, a northern Michigan nurseryman with a penchant for hard living, had a vision: angels came to tell him that the earth was in trouble. Its trees were dying, and without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the worldthe largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate changeand create a kind of Noahs ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why hed been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the worlds great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldnt be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the worlds oldest treesamong them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah. When New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarchs story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival.Praise for The Man Who Planted Trees This is a story of miracles and obsession and love and survival.

The Man Who Planted Trees is the inspiring story of David Milarch's quest to clone the biggest trees on the planet in order to save our forests and ecosystem--as well as a hopeful lesson about how each of us has the ability to make a difference.
