CSIRO Publishing, October 2023
Deep in the forest, an ancient wonder is about to be discovered. The Wollemi Pine has survived ice, fire and the passing of many generations. But will a bushfire be the final threat to this living fossil? This fascinating tree existed up to 200 million years ago, and after its chance discovery, everyone wants a dinosaur tree.
But how will we protect it? How can we make sure the Wollemi’s secret location is not discovered and damaged? Reach High, Wollemi! explains the unique and critically endangered status of the Wollemi Pine and explores what actions can be taken today to contribute to the conservation of this rare and beautiful tree.
