KQRU Interview with John Quigley


You can listen here to an exclusive interview with visual artist and tree activist John Quigley, brought to you by KQRU 107.9 FM Santa Clarita. The interview is conducted by Shawnee Badger, who visited the tree to talk to John when she was 9 years old. Now, 20 years later, they sit down to discuss how this event came about and what it meant for each of them and the community.
