Jamestown Tree

Trees, climate and what happens next.
Trees in their present form date back to 60 million years ago. Over that time, these sylvan stalwarts have experienced massive environmental disruptions from many sources, yet they remain intact. Today, many believe the biggest challenge to trees is climate change. What is climate change, and how will it impact trees? Are trees up to this challenge, and how can future stewardship help? These and other questions will be the focus of what should be a very informative and entertaining lecture on trees.
Presented by John T Campanini, Jr – Technical Advisor, RI Tree Council.
