When David Milarch of Archangel Ancient Tree Archive came back to life, he embarked on a spiritual mission. Enjoy Moving the Giants, this award-winning short film about his mission.
Moving the Giants: An Urgent Plan to Save the Planet tells the story of arborist David Milarch, as he helps California coast redwoods migrate northward to survive climate changes that threaten their current habitat. His is one path to promote “treequestration,” a mass movement to use one of nature’s most prolific methods to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce the amount of future climate change.
Our deepest gratitude to Ted Wood and Michael Ramsey for making this film.
In the late ’70s I ran the Avenue of the Giants and completed the run on a misty drizzly day I believe in Spring. I felt a similar otherworldly experience of honor to be in such a place. I was inspired to run a bit faster and farther in a calmer state of awe than I normally would have. I felt their life and it was ancient and protective. That was 40+ years ago. When I am gone I hope that I will have helped them just a bit. I will try and contribute once per year.
