Following the demise of the Klootchy Creek Spruce, an Oregon landmark, Portland arborists Will Koomjian and Brian French set forth on a journey to locate a new Oregon State Sitka Spruce champion. As they visit several giant contenders along the windswept Oregon coast, both arborists reveal their motives run deeper than collecting data and naming a new champion.  Winner of the Leave No Trace Award:  Adventure Film Festival.  For more information on champion trees visit the Ascending the Giants Website
