The publication of this Year In Review documents a historic year of work to care for and celebrate the Pando Tree. In 2025, we oversaw the completion of the Pando Protection Plan. A project that completes work that began in the 1990s and brings around 80% of Pando’s landmass into protective care. 2025 was a year volunteers gathered to beautify, protect, and restore some 3 acres of Pando, while behind the scenes, we worked to gather data on Pando’s genome and worked to develop LiDAR models that allow us to study and care for Pando down to an area the size of a single leaf. 2025 was also a year of new visions and creative perspectives; a string quartet about Pando by composer Nancy Ives, a meditation on the seasons of life in Pando found in the threadpaintings of Lisa Benham and the fabric sculptures of Amanda Triplett that each and all, illuminate a subject that has been regenerating itself for millennia.  New friends, partners, and sponsors connecting – and spreading our reach from the Pando Tree, around the world.
