Protecting Large Trees

NY Times has a very interesting article about the importance of protecting the older trees. 

"...big trees (those with a diameter greater than three feet at chest height) account for only 1 percent of trees but store half of the area's biomass, according to a study published this week in PLoS ONE.

It's important to respect your elders, children are reminded. It seems that this goes for trees, too."
