Sitting under an old bristlecone in the cool April sun, I thought of Edmund Schulman, for whom this grove is named.
- Role: subject
- In the article: The author ends the essay sitting under an old bristlecone in April in the grove named for Edmund Schulman, who in 1953 cored a 3,000-year-old tree on the mountainside south of the tall trees. Thomas Harlan shows signs of saplings advancing above the tree line there.
- Why it matters: The grove is where the essay’s themes of deep time, dendrochronology and the Anthropocene converge. The text does not give coordinates; Wikipedia’s Schulman Grove redirects into the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest.
