Abstract
The Pando Clone is located in Township 26 South, Range 1 East, Sections 24 and 25 about 1 mile southwest of the Lakeside Resort on State Highway 25 and about 1 mile due east of Mallard Bay at the southwest corner of Fish Lake (see map). The Pando Clone is the largest aspen clone in the world and the largest (most massive) single living organism in existence that has been discovered to date (Grant, 1993; DeWoody et al, 2008). It encompasses approximately 106 acres and is estimated to weigh in excess of 13 million pounds (Grant, 1993). This clone is internationally renowned and is known by many in North America and throughout the world. In 2006 the U.S. Postal Service honored the Pando Clone as one of the “40 Wonders of America” with a stamp in its commemoration (Deseret New, October 7, 2010).
