The Vancouver Island branch of the Royal Commonwealth Society hosts this Trees for Life video discussion to highlight the role trees play in our lives, communities, and the longevity of our planet.
Join me with Dr. John Innes (Dean, Faculty of Forestry, UBC), Sarah Abbott (Associate Professor in the Department of Film at the University of Regina, and a Doctor of Social Sciences candidate (ABD) at Royal Roads University) for a conversation and opportunity to spread awareness of the Trees for Life initiative! This first event focuses on an appreciation for trees.
Under Dr. John Innes leadership, the UBC Faculty has taken significant steps toward broadening the curricula and academic content to reflect changing realities in the forest and conservation sectors.
Sarah Abbott’s interdisciplinary doctorate explores the sentient relationality of trees through public ethnography, Indigenous research methodologies, plant science and inter-species communication.
I shares positive solutions in creative ways. My passion is to foster healthy, happy and resilient communities that bring people together.
