SUMMARY:Protecting Trees, Dispelling Myths
DESCRIPTION:While many celebrate a succession of sunny days, the topic turns serious when fish-bearing streams run dry and forests, trees and gardens wither under the extremes of drought.\n \nWater restrictions have limited what farmers and industry formerly took for granted and in many parts of BC the situation has already proven deadly.\n \nAre we putting too much emphasis on targetting trees as a fire threat while we trustingly leave our highly flammable, plastic-laden vehicles parked in or next to our residences?\nIn celebration of Earth Week and in honour of our urban and established forests, Creatively United presents a free webinar/conversation and Q&A with some of BC’s leading experts on tree preservation in light of a changing climate and the threat of fire.\nLearn how to discern truth from half-truth (or fiction), protect and preserve trees, your community, home and loved ones from the growing threat of fire in an era of climate uncertainty.\nHerb Hammond, forest ecologist, professional forester, author; Rachel Holt, independant ecologist, professional biologist; and Dave Daust, forester, landscape analyst will dispel some of the myths perpetuated by government agencies and social media to reveal how the public can better protect trees and nature in their community and elsewhere. They will also be joined by a conservation biologist and a local FireSmart representative to interpret the FireSmart recommendations for natural landscapes around homes.\nModerated by conservationists Grace Golightly and Creatively United founder Frances Litman. Can’t attend the live webinar? Not to worry, a recording of this event will be sent to all registrants.\n
