When: November 4, 2007
Where: San Geronimo, California
Who: Redwood trees, David Milarch an aborist
What: An arborist trying to preserve and restore Northern California's towering redwoods has begun taking cuttings that he hopes can be used to make genetic clones of the ancient trees.
Why: Milarch believes these trees can provide the toughest possible stock for a kind of genetic savings account. He hopes that material can be used to restore old-growth redwoods in their native range up and down the state.
