Description

Sometimes the reason for footage ever having been newsworthy is lost in the mists of time. All we know about this silent footage of a tiny tree being planted is that it is on Belfast’s Black Mountain. The marker placed in the ground beside it reads, “The world’s 8th millennium tree”, but what this is meant to mean is unclear. Let us know if you have the answer.
