Tree

Stand beneath the giants — explore the mighty trees that anchor our forests and shape our landscapes.

Trees are Earth's largest and longest-living organisms. Some bristlecone pines have been alive for nearly 5,000 years, and coast redwoods tower over 100 metres tall — taller than the Statue of Liberty. A single large oak can support hundreds of species of insects, birds, and mammals, while its roots prevent erosion and its leaves filter air and water. Trees communicate through underground fungal networks, share resources with their neighbours, and even warn each other of insect attacks by releasing chemical signals. Whether it's the autumn blaze of a maple, the fragrant blossom of a cherry, or the towering majesty of a sequoia, trees inspire wonder at every scale.
