Did you know that one organism holds the distinction of being not only one of the heaviest but also one of the oldest living things on Earth? A 106-acre aspen grove in Utah named Pando shares the same ancient root system and weighs more than 13 million pounds! Expedition Leader and professional botanist Eleanor Edye delves into all things aspen, from their unique biology to their vital role in the forest ecosystem. Meet some notable aspen trees (including Pando!) and learn about aspen conservation threats and initiatives.
