Botany of Native Trees - place, purpose, and problems
The Lower Mainland is full of beautiful and intriguing treed landscapes. The trees that define our places and identities, shade our yards and parks, and frame the context of our lives are complex living beings with fascinating and intricate life processes. Andrew will explore and connect us to some of our region’s native trees by looking at where and how they grow, what their role is in their communities, how they behave, as well as common problems and current threats.
