While doing fieldwork in the Pindos Mountains in Greece, Soumaya, Matt, and Valerie were involved in the sampling of Europe's oldest known living tree: a 1075-year old Bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii).  The field expeditions were led by Paul Krusic from Stockholm University and were in collaboration with Jan Esper's group at the University of Mainz.

It is amazing to see a tree last this long, especially when we consider our current climate. We have a terrible climate right now, and most of it is because of us. If only we were more responsible, then we might have a lot more trees like this. It is really hard to comprehend how we messed up this way. Well, thinking about how it happened will not solve anything, we just need to be better people starting right now.
