Pando is a forest, a single organism of Quaking Aspen trees,

Cloned from a single male aspen.

It occupies 100 acres in the Fishlake National Forest of Utah.



It may be 80,000 years old; it may be a million.

Its life is threatened by human carelessness.



We, too, spread out and through harmony with Nature,

Love and care for each other,

Have the chance to function as a single symphony,

A single organism,

And live thousands, millions, billions of years together as One.



Let’s continue trying!
