2,000-Year-Old Tree Threatened By Fire

A 2,000-year-old Juniper tree is in the direct path of one of the California wildfires, The Mercury News reports. The 82-foot-tall Bennett Juniper is in the direct path of the Donnell Fire's southern edge in the Sierra Nevadas, and firefighters are working to stop the blaze's growth before it hits the tree and “nearby structures in the Stanislaus National Forest.”
