Archangel Ancient Tree Archive (aata) was established to propagate, Archive and reforest the earth with the propagules of some of the world's most important old-growth trees to benefit all life through the natural filtering powers of trees to increase oxygenation, sequester carbon dioxide, and provide beneficial aerosols and medicines. Aata also educates and motivates others to understand the importance of our mission through lectures, print, video, as well as through our website and social media sources. We take part in a variety of environmental forums and donate trees for planting events such as earth day, arbor day, boy/girl scouts of america, grand openings, churches, school events and conservation district projects. Aata searches for Ancient trees and begins the process of seeking the owner's permission to collect and propagate a Tree. Following collection, IT sets up a routine to propagate the offspring of the parent trees and then archives them in living libraries for future PR

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
