## Resource

Meet Gus, the 1,000-year-old Western Larch standing 153 feet tall in Montana’s Jim Girard Memorial Grove — a living monument older than the Magna Carta, thriving despite wildfires, climate shifts, and time itself. Rangers have fought to protect him and his kin, while kids and tourists flock to hug his ancient bark and feel history pulse through his roots. With a golden autumn glow and resilient bark, Gus may hold the key to surviving climate change — and his young offspring promise to carry his legacy forward for centuries.
