A Conversation with an Urban Ecologist and an Experiential Tree walk

What does ecology have to do with who we are? More than we’d usually think!

This Mother Earth Day, join us for a conversation where philosophy meets scientific urban ecology, followed by a guided tree walk where you’ll learn to recognise common trees, understand their role in the urban ecosystem, and experience your neighbourhood in a more attentive, connected way.

Step outside. Learn to notice. You may never walk past a tree the same way again!
