If you donate to the tree's preservation, you can give your donation as a holiday gift to loved ones and friends...no carbon footprint is associated with such a purchase. In fact, you acquire a karmic carbon bonus by doing your part to keep this massive tree safe from human predation. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Learn more here <a
