The six forests straddle a period in Earth history 306 million years ago that saw a rapid shift from an icehouse climate with big polar ice caps to a greenhouse climate in which the ice caps would have melted.

If you count clonal colony trees, the Pando tree colony in Utah is said to be 80,000 years old. Some other tree colonies that haven't been studied as extensively could be well over 1 million years old(!).
