This week we’re joined by forest ecologist, tree climber, and science tour guide Yoav Daniel Bar-Ness, founder of Giant Tree Expeditions. From climbing the world’s tallest flowering plant to mapping Hiroshima’s atomic survivor trees, Yoav has spent decades exploring the lives and legacies of trees across the globe. In this episode, we explore how Tasmania’s towering forests can tell powerful stories and how Yoav is using science tourism to reconnect people with these extraordinary landscapes.
