In the Kootenays, we are blessed with an abundance of forests and a multitude of tree species,
with some individual trees over a thousand years old. We revere these towering giants, we also
depend on them as a resource. In this episode, we dive into the state of old growth with Craig
Pettitt and Rachel Holt, two biologists who have dedicated their lives to helping preserve the
ancients among us. Through another tree crusader, we learn about the fascinating Whitebark
pine, which relies on a particular bird to germinate, and we travel to Fernie to meet the author
of a big-tree guidebook.
