Tracy Maxwell with Umpqua Valley Audubon Society to discuss their upcoming earth day event and Melanie MacKinnon representing Douglas County Global Warming Coalition, discussing earth day event hosted by the Umpqua Transportation Electrification Team and co-sponsored by Pacific Power, DCGWC, FORTH, Umpqua Watersheds, and Aviva Health.
In the later portion of this episode we feature a special segment by Talking with Green Teacher. What are some common misconceptions about trees? How can we foster meaningful experiences with them? In which situations does anthropomorphizing work and not work? Arborist Ian Allan spends most of his time among trees in the 200 hectares of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Wilderness Area that he manages in New South Wales, Australia. He has amassed a treasure trove of stories and insights about the woody giants that surround us and provide so many ecosystems services. Ian joined us to discuss how to connect trees with people — both the initiated and the uninitiated. He also shared some details about a new project being conducted in partnership with a local First Nation.
