This week, we travel from the Wollemi National Park in Australia to the Xingdoushan Nature Conservation Area in China to uncover the story of two living fossils, and how trees can shape national identities.

Recorded during the BigCi residency (Wollemi National Park, Blue Mountains NSW Australia) as part of the project on time and natural rhythms. We set down in the kitchen of the BigCi property on sunset of Monday 31st of May to talk about things that slow us down and change our pace. "I think the bush is a fantastic place to lose and find time. To do both of those things," said Freedom. ~~~~ Freedom Wilson is a printmaker who draws on location, to explore and study plant and fungi biodiversity. This process emphasises the importance of plant relationships functioning at a micro level when looking at the Australian landscape as a whole. She has been drawing and researching in the Gardens of Stone pagoda country before transforming life size plant drawings into macro, portrait like silkscreen prints. Her work carries a message of conservation for the preservation of these fragile areas.

Bio-data recording from a Wollemi clone. Wollemia is a genus of coniferous tree in the family Araucariaceae. Wollemia was only known through fossil records until the Australian species Wollemia nobilis was discovered in 1994 in a temperate rainforest wilderness area of the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales, in a remote series of narrow, steep-sided sandstone gorges 150 km north-west of Sydney. The genus is named for the National Park. The Wollemi Pine is one of the world's oldest and rarest plants, with less than 100 adult trees known to exist in the wild, the Wollemi Pine is now the focus of extensive research to safeguard its survival. Wollemi pine, although it is not a true pine (genus Pinus) nor a member of the pine family (Pinaceae), but, rather, is related to Agathis and Araucaria in the family Araucariaceae. The oldest fossil of the Wollemi tree has been dated to 200 million years ago.

Coming to you from the Blue Mountains in NSW Australia! I am excited to have made it at long last. A recipient of the BigCi Environmental award I am residing at the edge of Wollemi National Park. The trees here are spectacular! This morning I went on a short walk to a beautiful red gum to test out new coding I've recently added to one of the Bio-Sonification modules I brought along with me. Terrestrial. Indigenous. These trees have many stories to tell...
The Wollemi Pine was thought to be extinct for 60 million years until it was accidentally discovered by David Noble in 1994 during a weekend bushwalk, 150km from Sydney. Our living fossil captures the imagination and attention of the world because it offers a window into the past, but now scientists are focused on protecting its future. Dr Cathy Offord is researching ways to ensure this curious and critically endangered conifer can survive the threat of fire and disease using a range of interesting experiments at the Australian PlantBank. But let's not forget - the Wollemi Pine also has some fascinating survival tricks up its bark, such as the ability to grow up to 150 trunks and self-fertilise!
