Michigan environmentalist champions reforesting with old growth trees

http://www.ancienttreearchive.org/

This weekend, the Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association will hold its 10th annual Michigan Energy Fair at the Ingham County Fairgrounds. There will be exhibitions and workshops on energy efficiency, alternative energy, and sustainable living practices.Current State’s Scott Pohl speaks with the fair’s keynote speaker, David Milarch, co-founder of the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive. Milarch’s stated goals are to propagate old growth trees before they’re gone, archive the genetics of ancient trees, and reforest the earth.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
