Virgin Forest
Byron Carmean is tree hunter.He's not after just any old tree--he hunts for "champs." Champs are the crown jewels of the forest. They have the largest height and circumference out of all the old growth trees. And since old growth trees are rapidly dying out, lots of people like Byron Carmean have been on the hunt for champs, in hopes of saving them. I went down to Southampton, Virginia to see his biggest find yet. Aired on Weekend America, 11.18.06.
