Red Barn Event: The Trees are Speaking

Thu · 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Join author and journalist Lynda V. Mapes for a discussion about changing our relationship with forests. Long regarded as commodities primarily for growing wood products, today we know forests are essential to community wellbeing, climate stability, wildlife, and clean water and air. We need to shift our relationship with forests to emphasize caretaking, respect, and reciprocity. Lynda will share examples of sustainable forestry practices underway in our region and beyond that take care of people, forests, and wildlife, drawing from her new book, The Trees Are Speaking: Dispatches from the Salmon Forests. Doors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm. This is a partnered event with a Book for all Seasons and the Wenatchee River Institute.
