A
brief description from Jim about his talk:
“The
things we do know about trees, and the many things we don't -- from their
ability to clean up toxic waste to the ways scientists say they connect to the
cosmos. Trees heal people, are critical to insects and wildlife as medicine,
and, some scientists believe, even have a nervous system that allows them to
think, strategize and communicate. Most importantly he explains why trees
should be seen as an "ecotechnology" to accomplish a wide range of
important functions to heal broken ecosystems and adapt a changing planet.”
