Join life-long learners online OR in-person for a monthly lunch and learn series at Cedar Creek. Bring your lunch and hunger for knowledge, we will provide the brain food! Forests are losing biodiversity as humans alter the global climate and fragment habitats. Understanding how neighbor trees interact with each other can help us predict how forest ecosystems will change over time. Grad student Maria Park will share how she uses a mix of remote sensing and field-based studies to understand how trees cooperate and compete in the Forests and Biodiversity (FAB) experiments at Cedar Creek. In-person participants are invited to join Maria for a tour of the FAB experiment after the livestreamed webinar!
THIS PROGRAM WILL BE BOTH ONLINE AND IN-PERSON. To sign up for the online webinar go to: http://z.umn.edu/LWASonline. The in-person program will take place at the Lindeman Research and Discovery Center (2660 Fawn Lake Drive NE, East Bethel MN 55005); the livestreamed webinar will be followed by a field tour of the FAB experiment with the speaker.
