Brian Kelley has documented 130 Champion Trees since 2017 as an American Forests ambassador. He founded the Gathering Growth Foundation to expand this work, visually preserving significant trees and forests while promoting preservation awareness. The foundation has archived over 600 notable trees and forests. Kelley’s photography career evolved from skateboarding to commercial work, including Nike campaigns in New York City. Now, he lives in a van, traveling the US to document some of the oldest and largest trees.
