recently discovered in the Adirondacks.</strong></p> <h2>Gathering Growth Foundation</h2> <p>At the start of his career, Brian Kelley photographed over 140<a

In 2019, Kelley established his own organization, Gathering Growth Foundation. With the mission to visually preserve the legacy of significant trees and forests in the U.S., Kelley’s artistry spans the realms of photography, videography and audio recordings—weaving a tapestry that celebrates the arboreal giants. To date, Kelley has documented over 500 trees and forests across the country.</p> <figure style="max-width:1000pxpx" class="w-richtext-align-fullwidth w-richtext-figure-type-image"> <div><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/634735ad1c3cc168fc2117a1/66d720900a16afa70834425a_6503868f849f8fb25e8ed73c_GG%2520body%25201.jpeg" loading="lazy" alt="" /></div> <figcaption>Photography by <a href="https://caseysteffens.com/">Casey Steffens</a></figcaption> </figure> <p>According to a <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/mature-and-old-growth-forests-tech.pdf"><strong>USDA document</strong></a> and National Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) guidelines, trees must stand for 100-160 years and be 12-20 inches minimum in diameter to be considered old-growth trees. Benefits from these trees range from carbon sequestration to air quality increase—and are even more powerful in old-growth forests.</p> <p>On Earth Day 2022, Biden put out an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/04/22/executive-order-on-strengthening-the-nations-forests-communities-and-local-economies/"><strong>executive order</strong></a> to restore and conserve old-growth forests on Federal lands. With newfound data on the importance of the forests, it’s more important than ever to conserve the trees that remain.</p> <h2>Finding the Bigfoot Pine</h2> <p>The unsuspected Bigfoot Pine was found in July with the help of Matt Kane, Erik Danielson, Brain Kelley and Casey Steffens. What began as a quest for tall trees by Danielson ended in the discovery of the world’s largest Eastern White Pine by wood volume.</p> <figure style="max-width:6192pxpx" class="w-richtext-align-fullwidth w-richtext-figure-type-image"> <div><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/634735ad1c3cc168fc2117a1/66d720900a16afa708344263_650386c49c134a36dc1547ee_GG%2520body%25202.jpeg" loading="lazy" alt="" /></div> <figcaption>Photography by <a href="https://caseysteffens.com/">Casey Steffens</a></figcaption> </figure> <p>Naturalists Matt Kane and Erik Danielson were in conversation around the Adirondacks <strong>Big Blowdown of 1950</strong>—a storm that damaged at least a fourth of the park’s forest coverage. <a href="https://apa.ny.gov/"><strong>Adirondack Park Agency</strong></a> reports that the mountain range lost millions of standing timber board-feet, hitting old-growth forests the hardest. </p> <p>In hopes of finding tall trees, Danielson used LiDAR data to analyze the canopy in the area of assumed destruction. The remote sensing system found 500 acres of growth, and sparked a journey that led to the Eastern White Pine’s discovery.</p> <p>Danielson connected with Steffens and Kelley to explore the site, take measurements of the trees and document the trip. Upon their arrival, the three confirmed record-breaking measurements—<strong>the pine stood 151.5 ft tall and was 1,450 cubic feet in volume. </strong>Its size indicates it has sequestered roughly 35.7 tons of CO2 in its lifetime so far (equivalent to the emissions from driving 350,000 miles in a car). To commemorate the tree’s elusiveness, the three nicknamed the tree “Bigfoot Pine”.</p> <figure style="max-width:1000pxpx" class="w-richtext-align-fullwidth w-richtext-figure-type-image"> <div><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/634735ad1c3cc168fc2117a1/66d720900a16afa708344260_650386eb53608de23d94abea_GG%2520b3.avif" loading="lazy" alt="" /></div> <figcaption>Photography by <a href="https://www.gatheringgrowth.org/about">Brian Kelley</a></figcaption> </figure> <h2>Take Action</h2> <p>The pine is on protected lands, so will hopefully continue standing for generations to come. <a href="https://www.gatheringgrowth.org/"><strong>Learn more</strong></a> about Gathering Growth Foundation, <a href="https://www.oldgrowthforest.net/network-forests"><strong>find old-growth near you</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org/join"><strong>start your environmental giving journey</strong></a> today!</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <div data-w-id="3821b4ea-5ff3-ea30-216c-a5cbb0b19bea" class="footer"> <footer id="footer-content" class="footer-section-content mod--footer w-clearfix"><a href="#footer-policies" class="footer-skip-link w-inline-block"> <div>Skip to footer policies</div> </a> <div data-w-id="3821b4ea-5ff3-ea30-216c-a5cbb0b19bec" class="footer-content-wrapper mod--footer w-clearfix"> <div class="footer-columns-wrapper mod--1"> <div class="footer-column footer-email-sign-up-container"><a href="/" class="logo-link-footer mod--footer w-inline-block"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6345b143630a009103bb4bdd/637cf544d59e223359361578_1ftp_Primary_Vertical_White-1.avif" loading="eager" width="179" alt="1% for the Planet White Veritcal Logo" class="footer-logo" /></a> <div class="footer__form-wrap"> <div> <h2 id="subscribe-footer" class="footer__form-title centered-paragraph">Subscribe to our newsletter:</h2> <div class="footer__form-block w-form"> <form id="wf-form-Footer" name="wf-form-Footer" data-name="Footer" method="get" data-webflow-hubspot-api-form-url="https://hubspotonwebflow.com/api/forms/8be4d011-390c-4802-9fd3-aeeaf04e8865" class="modal-pop-up-form" data-wf-page-id="6582045fb87a7216c4c279c0" data-wf-element-id="3821b4ea-5ff3-ea30-216c-a5cbb0b19bf5"><input class="footer__form---input w-input" data-wfhsfieldname="FormTextInput-2" autocomplete="email" maxlength="256" name="email-field" data-name="email field" aria-labelledby="subscribe-footer" placeholder="Email address" type="email" id="email-field" required="" /> <div class="form__btn"> <div form-submitted="anim" class="overflow-hidden mod--submit active"> <div data-anim="arrows" class="form__btn-arrows"><img alt="" loading="eager" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/633acc23fe06891a04039e96/633acc23fe0689891a039eb8_arrow-btn.svg" class="form__btn-arrow mod--2" /><img alt="" loading="eager" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/633acc23fe06891a04039e96/633acc23fe0689891a039eb8_arrow-btn.svg" class="form__btn-arrow" /></div> </div> <div class="form__submit-result-wrap"> <div form-submitted="anim" class="form__submit-result active"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/633acc23fe06891a04039e96/633acc23fe0689cbfe039ecd_ico-cheked.svg" loading="lazy" alt="" class="form__submit-result-ico" /></div> </div><input type="submit" data-wait="Please wait..." class="form__submit w-button" value="Submit" /> </div><input type="hidden" name="hutk" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="ipAddress" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="pageUri" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="pageId" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="pageName" value="" /> </form> <div class="footer__form-success w-form-done"> <div>Thanks!
