Neighbors in Sebastopol, California, unite to save a 200-year-old oak tree from being cut down by Pacific Gas and Electric. Despite utility officials concerns about internal decay, homeowner Laurie Meyers and a group of locals form a human barrier, playing music and holding signs to buy time for alternative solutions. The community rallies around the tree, marking its age with references to Americas founding year. Pacific Gas and Electric postpone removal, leaving the tree standing for now, as talks continue to preserve this living piece of history without compromising safety.
