The Man Who Planted Trees: Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet Quotes

“A tree that is five, six, eight, or fifteen feet across, the champions we are cloning, is what the size of all the trees in our forests once was, that all of America was covered with, not just one lone, last solider standing. When we look at the trees around us, we're looking at the runts, the leftovers. The whole country should be forested coast to coast with these giants, not with the puny, scraggly, miserable mess we call our forests. We don't realize what we've lost. The champions do their best in communities that are hundreds or thousands of acres. They're struggling in little pockets to hang on... We're in the fifty-ninth minute of the last hour.”
